It is a silver-plated nickel silver flute with covered keys, an offset G and a split E mechanism, which together make the first year or two a lot less frustrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOffset G, covered keys, split E\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe offset G puts the left-hand ring finger key where a small or average hand naturally falls, so a beginner is not stretching to seal it. Covered (closed-hole) keys forgive fingers that do not yet land dead centre. The split E mechanism closes the lower G key when high E is fingered, which makes that notoriously touchy note speak cleanly instead of cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSilver plate over nickel silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head, body and keys are nickel silver with a silver-plated finish. Nickel silver is tough, holds its shape through the knocks a school flute takes, and the plating keeps it looking clean with a wipe-down after playing. The pointed key arms run to the centre of each cup, which keeps the pads seating evenly over time rather than drifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eC foot and updated pad cups\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C foot joint is the standard for a student flute: shorter, lighter and easier to balance than a B foot, with low C as the bottom note. The pad cups were updated on this generation to work with the pointed arms, giving a firmer seal and a more even response from the low register up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYFL-212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619733598498,"sku":"YFL-212","price":1104.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/15872-1__34280.1788332345.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790232241","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-yfl212-student-flute","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
