I purchased this from Shimamura Music in October of this year. I used it once, but it has been sitting in a desk drawer ever since. I am selling it because I have no plans to use it in the future. (Disinfected with alcohol.) The Yamaha Fife YRF-21 is a transverse flute made of ABS resin. It is made of ABS resin, a safe material that does not contain harmful substances such as lead and phthalates. Recorders are generally vertical flutes, but fifes are transverse flutes, and are also ideal for practicing embouchure (mouth shape) for instruments like flutes and piccolos. The sound carries well in performances by drum and bugle corps, and it is characterized by a clear sound quality. It is manufactured under a quality management system that complies with the international quality management system standard "ISO9001".
