NEW Yamaha Intermediate Flutes The Yamaha line of Intermediate flutes has been updated to surpass the evolving needs of student flutists Featuring an industry-leading pointed key arm design and a complete review and update to many aspects of the production process, the 300 and 400 series Intermediate flutes emphasize the Yamaha consistency and quality that keeps these flutes strong and singing for young flutists. • The keys of the new Intermediate flutes have been redesigned with the pointed key arm style which is vertically integrated from Professional and Handmade flutes • Mechanical redesigns and material changes result in increased resistance to corrosion and longer playing life tor the instrument • Pad cup structures now feature the same style and thickness as the Professional and Handmade line, for a more precise seal and increased durability • The 300 series flute body Is nickel silver with a sterling silver headjoint. while the 400 series is completely sterling silver Both styles help retain a clean polished look and a rich singing sound • All intermediate flutes now come with a French-style case and a durable, E-style case cover For more information please visit: 4wrd.iVintfNMM ®YAMAHA NMMEA OFFICERS rRI^.SIDENT THE Brinn USrlintt-1 hornJ \ P 1412 Avtcll NM 118101 Olli-e 575 9115-2277 NEW MEXICO MUSICIAN 575-6^)2-0590 prcsidcn^ti, nmmca cun^ Official Publication of the \ICE-PRESIOEN r, BAM) New Me.xico Music Educators Association Be^mie Ch:" c,: Band VP 503 S Tin Demin^ NM 811030 Olfice;S75-546-2678 Volume LVIll N um ber 3 S p rin g 2016 Ho^t;: 575-636-3930 band, nmmca.com IS S N 0742-8278 \ ICE-r‘RESIDi;NT CHORAL NM M EA Website: www nmmea.com Dianna Amend.
