Two Body Types

The YFG-811II (left) features a standard body wall thickness, offering a broad expressive capability for the widest range of players and playing styles. The YFG-812II (right) has a heavier 4-millimeter-thick body wall, resulting in a darker tone that blends well with the modern orchestra.

Improved Sound Quality

Improved sound quality

The body design has been refined, resulting in increased volume and enhanced resonance. A scientific analysis of these improvements shows a higher sound richness index compared to the previous model. As a result, the sound becomes richer with the amount of breath blown in, undergoing various changes and broadening the player's range of performance.

Key Systems

Key Systems

The key systems are fully handmade by experienced craftsmen, with emphasis on superior quality and playability.

The left-hand pinky keys and right-hand thumb and pinky keys have been positioned in the most natural, comfortable locations for significantly enhanced playability, allowing the performer to focus on the music.
