Yamaha YRF-21 Fife – fife in C made of ABS resin with recorder fingering, entry-level instrument

The playful first step into the world of the flute

With the Yamaha YRF-21 fife, the first step towards the flute comes naturally. This lightweight fife made of robust ABS resin was developed by Yamaha specifically for young beginners – a straightforward melody instrument that leads to quick success. Although it is only the size of a piccolo, the blowing sensation comes very close to that of a real transverse flute.

Robust, safe and child-friendly

The ABS resin makes the fife resistant to the small mishaps of everyday practice and ensures a long service life. The material used is non-toxic and meets international safety standards (EU REACH, CPSIA, Japanese food safety law) – ideal for children's hands.

Easy response thanks to a refined embouchure

The embouchure hole design optimised by Yamaha makes tone production easy and delivers accurate intonation. A beautiful, clean sound is produced right from the start. It is played with the familiar recorder fingering, which makes the transition particularly easy for many children.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Ideal entry point: a gentle transition to the flute with a genuine transverse blowing feel.
• Robust and durable: stable ABS resin withstands everyday practice.
• Safe for children: non-toxic material meeting international safety standards.
• Easy to play: optimised embouchure for clean intonation and quick progress.
• Familiar fingering: recorder fingering makes the switch easy.
