FOR FLUTE click here: HOT NEWS: Another Japanese manufacturer with quality problems
Yamaha has recalled 20,000 flutes due to a problem with the keyspringtension, causing flautists to play faster than they normally would, resulting in a dangerous number of accidentals. The keyspringtension also makes it harder for flautists to come to a full stop at the end of a piece making it extremely risky for audiences. Although there have been a tremendous number of accidentals, fortunately it has so far caused no deafs. Analysts are wondering if it will put a damper on their flute market and if they will be able to sustain sales. Government is also considering calling in the President of Yamaha for questioning as to when the company first learned about the keyspringtension.
