Yamaha yfl-517 solid silver headjoint AM cut

Product Overview
Up for sale is a modern, semi-professional Yamaha Finesse series flute (the direct successor to the popular 514 model). Manufactured in Japan after 2016, this instrument features premium craftsmanship and excellent mechanical response. While it shows cosmetic signs of heavy use, it remains a mechanically sound, high-performing instrument

.Key Specifications:

• Keys: Closed-hole with elegant French pointed key arms
• Finish: Silver-plated body and keys
• Mechanism: Split E mechanism for an easier high E
• Headjoint: Premium solid sterling silver (AM cut)

Please read carefully about its condition:

• Mechanical: Functions beautifully and is well-adjusted.
• Body: No dents. There are many surface scratches throughout the headjoint and body from regular use, with a few being deeper.
• Lip Plate: The plating shows some cosmetic pitting (small holes) from the previous player's skin acidity. This is strictly cosmetic and does not impact playability or sound quality.
• Pads: The pads are worn and darkened but currently functional. The left-hand F and E pads were recently replaced. The right-hand B and A pads show edge wear from polishing. Depending on your playing frequency, expect to replace a few pads in the near future.

This is a fantastic opportunity to own a top-tier Yamaha Finesse flute at a fraction of the retail price. Perfect for an advancing student or a doubler looking for professional features on a budget.
