Yamaha Ring Key Plug for Flute
Transitioning to an open-hole (French model) flute can be an intimidating and frustrating experience. If your fingers aren't perfectly positioned over the center of the keys, air leaks out, notes refuse to speak, and your tone completely disappears. Yamaha Ring Key Plugs are the perfect, inexpensive solution to drastically ease that transition.
These soft, flexible plugs fit securely into the open holes of your flute's keys, instantly converting your step-up or professional instrument back to a closed-hole (plateau) feel. This allows advancing students and woodwind doublers to gradually remove the plugs one by one as their finger placement and muscle memory naturally improve over time.
Key Features:
-
Smooth Transition: The ultimate training tool, allowing players to comfortably adjust to a French-model flute at their exact own pace.
-
Fully Customizable: Plug all five open holes for an instantly playable closed-hole setup, or remove them individually (starting with the easier keys) as your technique develops.
-
Secure & Safe: Crafted from a soft, non-abrasive silicone material that fits snugly into the key holes without scratching your beautiful silver finish or falling out during a performance.
-
Genuine Yamaha Quality: Specifically engineered to fit the precise dimensions of Yamaha open-hole flutes, ensuring a perfect, airtight seal every single time.
