YFL-B441

Yamaha’s unique expertise with the various alloys used in brass instruments led to the discovery that gold-brass (brass with a higher than usual copper content) is the perfect material for optimum tone, weight, and playability of a low flute. The gold-brass gives a rich sound full of tonal colors, and the flute is much more comfortable to hold and play than traditional low flutes, being considerably lighter.

The YFL-B441 bass flute is made from gold-brass like the YFL-A421 alto flute and features a similar quick response, rich beautiful tone, and accurate intonation. The bass flutes are often used in flute ensembles and studio recordings, and are increasingly used to play difficult alto solos in the orchestral literature. As with the alto, the gold-brass makes the flute much lighter and easier to hold, while still creating a rich and colorful sound.

Bass Flute Headjoint

Utilising a higher riser, the nearly square mouthpiece delivers rich resonance in the low range and uniform tone.

Key Design

Key shapes are designed to provide a natural position that fits the fingers for greater playability.


What We Like

For a very long time and like many in Australia, I was not aware that Yamaha produced high-end Custom Handmade flutes. Their student and intermediate flutes have always been popular and well regarded but their high-end instruments were simply not available in this country. When I moved to Europe, I began to notice the popularity of their professional instruments and saw them in the hands of friends and colleagues who now occupy seats in world-renowned orchestras. I also found out that some of my favourite flute players were in fact, Yamaha artists. Incredible musicians such as András Adorján, Mathieu Dufour and Peter-Lukas Graf have all been playing on Yamaha flutes for decades.

It wasn’t until I began studying with Andrea Lieberknecht in Munich however that I actually got to try one of these fabled instruments. As a Yamaha Artist, Andrea has worked closely with the craftspeople at Yamaha to help them design the current lineup of their top of the range instruments. She plays on a 900 Series gold flute and was kind enough to let me try it and I was promptly blown away. To say that these instruments are up there with some of the finest flutes being produced in Japan, or even the world is an understatement. At FLUTES & FLUTISTS, we are proud to be the exclusive stockist of these exceptional instruments here in Australia.
