Inspired to start afresh, we went back to a clean slate applying all of the knowledge, advancements, and skills we’ve obtained over the last two decades crafting some of the finest handmade flutes available today into the design of an entirely new line of handmade instruments. Focusing on innovation, we’ve created some instruments that change the image of the handmade flute significantly. They offer tone with charm and depth, and a wide dynamic range that allows performers to play with a wide range of expression and the tone and volume flutists have long desired. Top-of-the-line handmade gold flutes offer a rich, deep tone with outstanding presence in orchestral settings. Highly responsive with a wide dynamic range that spans from rich, sensitive pianissimo to highly resonant fortissimo they allow the flautist to discover new limits of musical expression. From the finest details to their overall design, every part, process, and component on these handmade silver flutes is designed to function in harmony with the rest.

Funksjoner
New “Type A” headjoint
The new Yamaha “Type A” headjoint enables the flutist to produce an easy yet colorful sound and still play using a wide dynamic range. Indeed, the “Type A” headjoint has been praised by many players for its “clear sound, which is distinctive even at pianissimo.” Among the improvements to the new “Type A” headjoint is a slightly increased wall thickness that greatly improves the resonance of the headjoint and maximizes the tonal colors available for the performer.

Flat pad cups
Flattened pad cups provide better stability than more traditional-style pad cups. Pad positions can be adjusted more easily and stabilized for a longer length of time when the pad is seated in a flat pad cup. Because the pad is more stable, it is also able to respond more freely, creating a rich and desirable resonance.
Straubinger pads
Straubinger pads, which are made using a stable plastic base and durable synthetic leather, have been widely adopted as essential components of a high quality Handmade flute. Compared to traditional felt and paper pads that require frequent adjustments, Straubinger pads are more tolerant of environmental change and remain in top playing condition for a longer period of time. A Yamaha Handmade flute with Straubinger pads enables the player to achieve a clear response with a more mature, nuanced sound.
Pinless left-hand key system (In-line, ring key models only)
For players who require the use of both a C and B foot joint, Yamaha has unified the design of the C# and D# keys so that pinky finger movements are consistent with either foot joint. Flutists are now able to accurately achieve the precise technique required for playing with the right hand pinky finger, no matter if using a C or B foot joint.
Acoustic annealing
A special acoustic annealing process that allows for a more pure transmission of vibration from the player to the flute provides Yamaha Handmade flutes with a deep, mature sound and clear response.
Etui
The case is compact for easy travel and durable to protect the flute, and is accompanied by a sophisticated case cover. (Left: Handmade Gold, Right: Handmade Silver)
