Best Yamaha YFL-212 Flute Set 2 Alternatives

Based on 3 reviews

I've been playing a long time and my very first flute was a Pearl. I highly recommend Pearl flutes because I feel they produce a clear, sweet tone. It doesn't sound woolly where you can hear the air when you blow a note. I've had lots of comments about my playing and my tone. I'm sure it's down to Pearl. This model has a silver head joint and the body is silver plated. I absolutely love it. The only niggle I have is the top F# doesn't sound very clear and is quite hard to produce. This is probably an adjustment problem rather than a build problem. I highly recommend it for beginners and intermediate players.

Before purchasing the Altus 1107 I owned an Azumi AZZ3 which I was very pleased with. I had auditioned the Azumi partly due to online recommendations but mainly because I respected the Japanese parent company - Altus. The Azumi uses a handmade Altus head joint which particularly appealed to me. At a later visit to a music shop where I was collecting my flute after its 1 year service, on a whim, I asked to if I could compare my flute to the Altus handmade equivalent the 1007. On paper the specs were identical ? I was convinced that there would be no discernable difference (at least to me). I was shocked, the flute felt better balanced in the hand, the mechanism was fantastic and the tone was immediately cleaner and richer. I then rashly asked to try the 1107 with the 958 silver and was...

After comparing various flutes and researching the pro's and con's, I am very pleased that I bought the Yamaha YFL-212SL as my first flute! It has a great superior sound quality and comes in a good protective casing. I know that I will have a great amount of years of pleasure from this flute. As an addition, I recommend a thumb or finger support. This helped me in the beginning stages of learning to play, to stabilize the flute better. I have been playing for several month now (previously playing recorder) doing online lessons and am well on my way. Mechanically it is a stable instrument. Very happy client!

I've had this flute for a year now. Initially I was disappointed with this flute because I couldn't get any sound below the low f, however, I took it to my local flute shop and they did some tiny re-adjustment to the lower keys; which didn't cost me anything as it could be done on the spot. I suppose it was just a hiccup with this particular flute. Since then I must say I love this flute. It has a bright and warm tone colour and great projection plus it's easy to handle. If you're looking for something more up-market and professional than this flute is definitely for you. I'm sure you will not regret buying it.
