The Yamaha 517 flute comes from Yamaha's professional line and is ideal for the professional player looking for a flute that gives players the musical capabilities that you would only expect to hear from a handmade instrument.

• Yamaha have improved their manufacturing over their 35 years of flute making to incorporate hand made techniques which make their flutes reliable and made to a high standard.The Type AM headjoint is based on the Type A headjoints supplied with handmade flutes from the 900 and 800 series. This offers a wider expressive range and additionally offers easier response with excellent balance over the instrument’s entire range, a slightly heavier resistance, and a wide dynamic range.
• A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms. Found on Yamaha handmade flutes, their beautiful designs are inspired by traditional european styling.
• New optimized pads create a better seal and improve the instruments longevity.
• An offset G and split E mechanism are included for comfort.
• A special annealing process delivers a more pure transmission of vibration from the player to the flute for a rich resonance and superior response.

The Yamaha 517 is supplied in a compact hard case with a sophisticated case cover. A shoulder strap is also included for ease of transportation. An accessory pack including a polish cloth, gauze cloth, cleaning rod and instruction manual is also provided.
