  • Amazing quality!
We own 4 flutes. We started with a Gemeinhardt and then upgraded to a better student flute that my daughter loved. When she outgrew it we bought an intermediate Yamaha that is her go to for concerts. However she is in symphonic and marching band and needed a flute that sounded good and that she could play comfortably without sacrificing quality sound. Most importantly we did not wanted her to use her $4,000 Yamaha for marching band. I was a little hesitant ordering this flute online but let me tell you, this flute is amazing! The quality is great, it is an original Yamaha, plays beautifully, looks beautiful and feels perfect! It is still a pretty expensive flute for marching band in my opinion but perfect for symphonic. My daughter is very careful with it and she loves playing it so much that she has started to use it in church instead of her intermediate flute and at concerts. I highly recommend this flute for everyone but specially for students who already play and need an upgrade for better, quality sound. Super happy with our purchase! ... show more

  • Have owned this instrument for 6 months. Love love love
I waited until I had this flute for 6 months before writing this review. I took up the flute 8 months ago with a cheapie flute from the bay. After 2 months of self-study, I could not really play, but my interest was only increasing. So I got serious: bought this flute and got a music teacher to come to the house every week for an hour. Now I know enough to give a competent review: Everyone says you can't buy a flute in a poke; trials and techs and repairmen and teachers must all be involved. That's fine for someone who knows these people, but what if you're just starting out and want to get an instrument without this support? This is where Yamaha shines. Go to any flute message board (I like the r/flute subreddit) and the ONLY flute anyone feels confident in suggesting buying blind is a Yamaha. Almost every thread goes like this: "What flute should I buy?" "Well, you have to get a team of 6 experts together to examine the offerings and xray your skull cavities while you play." "Can't I just pick up the Yamaha?" "Oh, sure, if you want to spend money." I bought the YFL-222 blind because I'd had absolutely no flute training, but I made no misstep here. I LOVE this instrument and there's a lot to love. It has become one of my most cherished possessions. It plays easy, the embouchure hole must be perfect. Low tones are mellow, highs are crisp. Attacks are easy, it responds to articulation effortlessly. I swear I can get nicer notes out of my 222 after 6 months than my teacher can get from his Artley after 6 decades. His Bb sounds like an ocarina while mine is a host of angels. I've played this heavily (even playing outdoors on occasion), the light patina that's starting to form is attractive and soft. But the instrument looks just as pretty as when it was new. The screwheads, rods, springs all look unblemished and without corrosion. The pads look new and there are no leaks from the lowest to highest notes. The only 2 quibbles I can find: 1. The hard case (inside the soft carrying case) has no handle. I like to tie my cleaning cloth to the outside of the case (so the wet rag isn't in the case with the flute) and tying it to the handle would be great. I had to add a brass eyelet to the outside of the case to hold the rag, a handle would have been more elegant. 2. The D# trill key is just a hair too close to the D key. With my huge mitts (I can palm a basketball) and thick fingers, I sometimes graze the trill key when fingering the D which renders it mute. I've been getting better at avoiding it. My teacher claims it's a non-issue, if I was fingering correctly I'd be fine. But his Artley definitely has a few extra critical millimeters between those keys. The tone of this instrument is world class. It has been reliable, seems robust. Love it, makes me smile. I claim it's the only flute that a student working alone can buy without risk. ... show more

  • Great product
I bought this because it was the identical model that my daughter is learning on at school. This arrived in pristine condition.

  • Real Deal for 1/2 the Normal Price
I was skeptical about authenticity, but I trusted Amazon’s return policy and the reviews all seemed good, so I took the chance on this seller. I am a returning flute player, and I have played a few Yamahas and feel that they are the best flutes for the price. I am extremely impressed with this flute right out of the box. It was made in Indonesia, as all Yamaha 222 flutes are. It has a serial number on the box and several items, like Yamaha booklets and cloth cleaners. It comes with a hard and a soft case with a strap. It came from Korea, but arrived in only a few days. Super fast. I’m not sure how they even do that. Apparently, since they are overseas they can sell Yamaha flutes for less than the manufacturer price. It is an amazing deal and I’m excited to play it some more. So far, I love the sound. ... show more

Very good closed hole beginners flute. Could benefit from a solid silver headjoint.

Great upgrade! For me, it is very worth the money! (It might be a little pricey for a new student) I’m very happy with my new flute! Also, it came very quickly 🥰

  • Superb Quality!
I LOVE MY FLUTE! In June it'll be three years since i purchased my flute, and it was the BEST investment. This is a picture of my flute, taken a couple days ago, after i polished it with my silver polishing cloth. I love how it looks brand new. I play my flute just about every day, sometimes for 2+ hours at a time. The sound of this flute is clear. Low notes down to low C are easy to play. Upper octave notes flow with ease. I went to a music store and checked out a couple flutes double what i paid for this one and they felt cheap and didn't look as nice. I would buy this flute again and again, but as nice as it is, i don't think I'll need to. ... show more
