The range from PP (pianissimo) to FF (fortissimo) is also expanded, allowing for more expressive performances. [Head joint and body made of silver] Although flutes look the same and are made of silver, they are made of a variety of materials, including cupronickel and nickel silver. The head joint and body of the YFL-412LSE are made of genuine silver, boasting a purity of over 90%. The large number of parts made of silver gives it the characteristic flute-like sound and resistance. If you ever decide in the future that you want to play a flute made entirely of silver or gold, practicing on a silver-bodied flute will make the transition smoother. For those who find it difficult to play an all-silver instrument, this is a safe choice.The fact that it is easy to play even for beginners is what makes it popular with brass band members. *Keys only made of nickel silver
