Yamaha Professional 587H Series Flute

This flute, meticulously hand-adjusted and test-played by experienced artisans, is more than just inexpensive versions of Yamaha's professional flutes. It is very important for young students to be able to produce beautiful, flute-like tones as quickly and easily as possible. This is the flute that will help beginners rapidly improve, while offering more advanced players excellent response and tonal qualities.

Based on the Handmade Flutes Type A design which offers a wider expressive range, the hand-finished headjoint on Yamaha professional flutes additionally offers easier response and excellent balance over the instruments entire range.

The headjoint, body and footjoint of all professional flutes are heat treated through Yamaha's proprietary acoustic annealing process that allows the instrument to vibrate more freely, providing optimal response and beautiful resonance.

The keys are hand-assembled and meticulously balanced for a perfect touch, and the key shapes have been so exquisitely designed and ergonomically placed that the flute will almost disappear in your hands. Performances will feel effortless and natural.

A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms, similar to those found on Handmade Flutes. Their beautiful designs are inspired by traditional European styling.

The compact case provides ease of transport and excellent protection from damage. All Yamaha professional flutes come with an elegantly designed case cover.
