10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold

  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Crafted to Perfection

Setting new standards for musicality, craftsmanship, and expression, this flute benefits from the technical knowledge of some of the most gifted artisans in the world. There have been a number of significant improvements made to this new and improved instrument. The new Type AM headjoint is crafted out of silver and features a well balanced resistance over the entire range, allowing you to produce a colourful sound in a wider dynamic spectrum.

For a quicker, more lively response, Yamaha have added a special heat treating process called sound annealing. When coupled together, the whole range is given new possibilities for expression with both an easier response and excellent balance. The YFL617 model also employs an increased wall thickness, allowing slightly more resistance and more musical flexibility.

Traditional Keys

The silver-plated keys adapt both Straubinger Phoenix pads and stainless springs. These upgraded pads allow for more precise padding and stable adjustment. Designed with a harder surface, they provide both a quicker response and a clear sound timbre. The ergonomic design of these enhanced pads give you the impression that the flute was custom designed for you.

This flute benefits from covered keys, which are easier to achieve a clear sound. The pad cup is covered so it will seal the tone hole any time the key is closed. These features mean that the flute's optimum clarity can be achieved with ease, ideal for live musicians who want confidence in their performance.

600 Series

The 600 series is a step up for the professional musician's playability and sound. The silver body, foot-joint and head have a naturally warm sound with developed overtones, as well as a stunning appearance. The head-joint has a Type AM shape which produces slightly more resistance for increased dynamic range. The pointed key arm design not only looks stunning, but offers a preferable feel too. For professional musicians who require a shaped tone with the ability to reach stunning sound, the 600 series flutes are an ideal choice.
