Thank you for viewing! This is a popular Yamaha flute, the YFL511! This semi-handmade model was manufactured between 1983 and 1999, and is equivalent to the current YFL-617, a professional class instrument. It's a limited edition with decorative engraving. This model is recommended for both beginners and experienced players. It features an E mechanism and a pinless key arm design, making it a high-end instrument. The current retail price is 456,500 yen. [Condition] Operation has been confirmed. It is in beautiful condition, but there are minor scratches from use. The pads are in good condition. [Tone, Playing Feel, etc.] I played a silver-bodied instrument for the first time, and it has a very rich and soft tone, with a solid playing feel. The sound doesn't crack even when played forcefully, and it's easy to produce a good volume! I think it's a very good instrument. It requires power to resonate, so it's recommended for those who are somewhat accustomed to playing. [Accessories] Case, case cover, cleaning rod [Recommended for:] Those who want to upgrade to a higher-class instrument Those who want to use it in a brass band or orchestra Those who want to improve their playing skills
