Yamaha professional flutes are among the most highly regarded in the industry. Known for their exceptional build quality, hand-cut headjoints and impeccable intonation, these flutes offer players with amazing performance regardless of their level. The Yamaha 677 Professional Flute (687 model for in-line G) is the latest generation of design featuring even more performance value than ever before in a 600 Series flute from Yamaha. These new models have been designed to provide Yamaha reliability and response but with a tonal depth and color that had not been available in previous Yamaha 600 series flutes.
Straubinger Phoenix Pads
Straubinger pads are used on the world’s highest end professional flutes. In 2009, Straubinger released the Phoenix pad. This pad was designed to provide a performance closer to their highest end professional pads but also be able to be used in a flute that was not $10,000+. These pads still require a higher end caliber of manufacturing as well as a more skilled technician to work on, but their use in the Yamaha 677 & 687 flutes has helped to drastically elevate their performance above the previous Yamaha 600 Series instruments that used traditional felt pads.
Kessler & Sons Music is also a Straubinger certified shop meaning that we know how to fully adjust the Yamaha 677 flute to it’s peak performance capabilities.
.43mm (.017″) Wall Tubing
Traditionally, most flutes in this range use a .016″ thickness for the tubing of the flute. Yamaha’s “standard” wall thickness has always been a bit lighter at .015″ (.38mm). With the Yamaha 677, Yamaha has opted for a slightly thicker .017″ (.43mm) “heavy wall” tubing to offer the flute a slightly richer tone. The Yamaha 677 flute is the first model in the Yamaha line that utilizes this tubing option.
Professional Setup
Every flute we send out to a customer is not released from us unless it has been completely setup in our shop first. This is because the setup on the flute is of the utmost importance! Especially with the Straubinger Phoenix pad, the flute NEEDS to be absolutely perfectly dialed in to achieve its maximum performance potential. As a Straubinger certified shop, we know how to make the Yamaha 677 perform to its fullest potential.

flute_john (verified owner) –
I ordered the Yamaha YFL687HCT (Inline, b foot, c# trill) earlier this month, and I must say it far exceeds my expectations. I had originally ordered this flute as a backup to my 10-year-old Yamaha YFL684, but this will now be my primary flute with the 684 as a backup. In just 10 years Yamaha has made many improvements in the mechanism on these comparable flutes. I have played many $10k flutes that don’t sound as good as this Yamaha, and are hardly as reliable, which Yamaha has a great reputation for.
I will say too that the customer service that Kessler and Sons, particularly Dave, provided was far beyond what I had expected. Dave took the time to talk to me, offering advice from his vast years of experience, and provided me with the perfect instrument. This flute came to me in perfect playing condition. Thanks Dave and Chuck for the great experience of buying a flute from you. You’ve gained a customer for life!
And you know … I had heard great things about Kessler and Sons, and continue to hear great things, and all I have to say is IT IS TRUE! You can’t go wrong here. Thanks again guys!
