Drawing inspiration from Yamaha’s world-class handmade flutes, the Yamaha YFL-597H professional concert flute is a stunning instrument fully loaded with top-shelf appointments. This luxurious concert flute derives a pure, colorful tone from its sterling silver headjoint, hand-assembled keys, and traditional pads. Boasting an inline key system with French-style ring keys, the YFL-597H has a delightful feel that responds to every nuance of your playing. Plus, this model adds a split E mechanism to the previous model's C# trill key. Visually elegant and sonically sublime, the YFL-597H professional concert flute is a supreme showcase of Yamaha’s peerless craftsmanship!

Hand-finished construction





Modeled after the Yamaha handmade flute’s Type A design, the YFL-597H’s C headjoint allows players to produce a colorful tone with a wide dynamic range while providing slightly more resistance and easier response. The flute's body and footjoint are carefully crafted from nickel silver, and the sterling silver headjoint produces a light, pure sound. Additionally, to provide an optimal balance between the parts of the YFL-597H, Yamaha increased its wall thickness from 0.38mm to 0.43mm.
