The complete flute is plated in 24K gold, giving the body, headjoint, and mechanism a consistent exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the split E clutch mechanism provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clutch allows the player to engage or disengage the split E mechanism. When engaged, the mechanism is designed to improve the stability and centering of high E; disengaging it restores the standard mechanism behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the purpose of drawn toneholes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawn toneholes are formed directly from the body tubing rather than being separately soldered to it. Yamaha associates this construction with a broad, comparatively light response, making it a meaningful part of this custom flute's design concept.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/Yamahalogo\/Yamahalogo0.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/Yamahalogo\/YamahalogoThumb0.jpg\" align=\"Middle\" alt=\"Yamaha Logo\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are proud to be an authorized Yamaha dealer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trade-In Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67828027752813,"sku":"YF-M0801","price":29999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/3461\/files\/7142926.jpg?v=1793126256","url":"https:\/\/www.brassandwinds.com\/products\/yamaha-yfl-991ah-professional-14k-gold-concert-flute-in-24k-gold-plate-sn-m0801","provider":"The Mighty Quinn Brass and Winds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
