Hand-assembled and hand-adjusted keys ensure excellent touch and balance, while the new ergonomically shaped keys provide a comfortable and more natural playing position.

Minor adjustments to the YFL482H have been achieved thanks to Yamaha's unique screw resistance inserts. These inserts allow very smooth and accurate adjustments and prevent the gradual loosening of the screws, which can become a problem.
