Refurbished with 6 Month Alto Music Warranty
The Yamaha YFL-677H Professional Flute is among the top choices for advancing and professional musicians.  Built with an offset G key system for comfort and convenience, along with a Split E Mechanism that stabilizes & gives a centered intonation to the High E, this model has amazing action "playing fast feels smooth, like butter", and this model is tuned standard, in the Key of C. Furthermore, this model also comes with a B footjoint for good projection of darker & stronger sounds, along with a Gizmo Key that allows fingering for a High C.
Just like any new 600 Series pro flutes, the YFL-677H is predominantly made from sterling silver, except for its silver-plated nickel silver French-style keys. All its tubings are annealed for enhanced resonance & response and its wall thickness increased to 0.43mm for a more balanced, warm & beautiful sound. If this model also boasts of rich, nuanced tonality over a wide dynamic range, it is because it also uses Straubinger Phoenix Pads which optimizes any player's freedom of expression.

Material Combination for Professional Flutes
All models are silver-plated.
Toneholes
Drawn and Rolled
Walls are drawn upward from the body material, giving the flute a broad, light sound.
Key Types
Covered (or Plateau) keys are easy to use. The pad cup is covered so it will seal the tonehole any time the key is closed. This is common with beginners or others who may not always press the center of the key.
Many advanced players prefer the open feel of French-style keys for subtle control of their tone. Intermediate and Standard model French system flutes come with key plugs to seal the hole until players have become adept at covering the holes with their fingers.
Key Systems
In-line
Many players find the Offset G configuration easier to play. Often teachers recommend that beginners start on these flutes, while more and more advanced players are also choosing this natural feeling configuration. Many advanced students and professionals, though, still prefer the traditional In-line formation where all the toneholes are in a  straight row.
Split E Mechanism
This key helps give more stability and better centered intonation to the high E.
Hand-finished Headjoint
Based on the Handmade Flute’s Type A design which offers a wider expressive range, the hand-finished headjoint on Yamaha professional flutes additionally offers easier response and excellent balance over the instrument’s entire range.
Straubinger Phoenix™ Pads
The pads allow the player to play with a softer touch while providing a more precise and consistent seal, superior response, wide dynamic range and longer life in regards to adjustment.
0.43mm Wall Thickness (600/700)
0.43mm wall thickness is now a standard feature on 600 and 700 series flutes. Combined with the new hand-finished headjoint and the Straubinger Phoenix™ Pads, the increased wall thickness provides excellent balance, and a warm, beautiful sound.
Acoustic Annealing
The headjoint, body and footjoint of all professional flutes are heat treated through an annealing process that allows the instrument to vibrate more freely, providing optimal response and beautiful resonance.
Key Design
The keys are hand-assembled and meticulously balanced for a perfect touch, and the key shapes have been so exquisitely designed and ergonomically placed that the flute will almost ‘disappear’ in your hands. Performances will feel effortless and natural.
Pointed Key Arms
A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms, similar to those found on Handmade Flutes. Their beautiful designs are inspired by traditional European styling.
Case
The compact case provides ease of transport and excellent protection from damage. All Yamaha professional flutes come with an elegantly designed case cover.
