Closed Hole Flute with Silver Plated Headjoint, Body & Keys, C foot, and Offset G. Considered a beginner/student flute.
On Yamaha student flute models: Yamaha student flutes are great instruments, often getting a better sound than intermediate model flutes made by their competitors. If I were to recommend a beginner flute model, a Yamaha 200 series flute would be it. The 225SII and Advantage series (FL1) are now called model "221 and 200AD" - they are nearly identical to these models and all parts are interchangeable. The model 221 and 200AD sell for between $800 and $900 new. The latest model, 222 (released in early 2017), has an upgraded cosmetic design as Yamaha has added "french pointed key arms" (doesn't change sound or playability)- These are currently selling for $950-$1000 through major retailers (Sam Ash, Woodwind & Brasswind, Music & Arts, etc.). Any of these models are very suitable student instruments! The only Yamaha student flutes I would not recommend are the 225S and 22 as these are quite old- upgrades to the design were made following these models.
As with all of my flutes, these flutes have been cleaned and serviced such that they play perfectly with the lightest touch!
*All Yamaha 200 series Yamaha flutes come with a hard case and cleaning rod. Flute stands available with any flute for $10. Cleaning cloths available for $7.
No. 1 - Yamaha 225SII - $325
Fantastic sounding flute, just serviced and ready to play! Cosmetically it shows light surface wear from normal use but is ding/dent free. Comes with Yamaha case and cleaning rod. Really a beautiful flute with a big full sound! Stamped "Made in Japan".
Yamaha makes a very strong flute so this is a great option for a first flute following a rental or for a beginner of any age!

No. 2 - Yamaha 225SII $295
This "Made in Japan" flute has gorgeous tone from high to low, and pads are mostly new! It has just been serviced and cleaned and is 100% ready to play. It shows some scratches and scuffs and a bit of plating wear (on a few of the keys and a bit on the underside- see photos), but despite little cosmetic wear, you're getting a really fine instrument in excellent playing condition! Comes with cleaning rod and case. Case has a sticker on the top that is likely removeable.
