Finally, it's here...
After more than a few months of waiting and anticipating, it's finally here!
My new flute! A Yamaha YFL-471:
There she is beside Clarry II's case. Fellow Yamaha instruments meet...
Here are the rest of the unboxing photos...
As you can see below, the flute has an outer case (used to be made of leather but now made of nylon, though in a more modern design)... There's an outer pocket for the cleaning rod and the wipes...
The outer case has a black wool lining (I don't know if it's real), probably to protect it from shock:
This outer case, in turn, houses an elegant leather-covered hard case that houses the flute itself:
Here's the flute, still in plastic wraps:
And here it is assembled:
And how is it, you ask? Well, it still has a breaking-in period. But it sounds fantastic, more mellow than my old YFL-221.
It's way heavier because it's solid silver. And yes, it's an advanced flute. I had trouble playing it when I removed the plugs. So I still have some practicing to do before I take these plugs out for good.
So if you'll excuse me, I still have some playing to do. Good thing it's raining, no one can hear my mistakes.
