"It's the sweetest sound I've ever heard", commented one music educator who heard this flute. I love using this flute to perform Baroque and Celtic music, and I continually get comments about what a nice tone this flute has. Its dark, "woody" sound lends itself to Baroque and Celtic music especially well, but I use it for other music, too. It takes longer to warm up than a regular silver flute, but the resulting sound is worth the extra time. I'd highly recommend this flute!

I recently made the best investment of my life ! I have played flute for the last 14 years of my life. I recently invested in a YFL894WH, which is like the YFL874WH's little brother. Despite the beauty it reflects, the intonation this particular instrument delivers is remarkable. The tone colors this exotic beauty produces are enchanting along with the fast responding keys it possesses. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly encourage everyone to at least give this work of art a try.
