Is the flute new? Is it a black thick case? It only says black plastic, and I am bit lost. Can you display a photo of the case?

The flute we received was indeed a new instrument and the case was a standard case, not a cheap plastic as you may fear. Hope this helps.

Yes the flute is brand new. I bought one for a student and it is excellent. The case is very thick and there is a velvet lining inside to protect the flute. It is not a plastic that you would think of. I can't really describe it, but it is extremely sturdy. Let's put it this way, I have been a flutist for 31 years and I have dropped the cases many, many times and the wasn't even a scratch in the case and the flute was fine. Hope this helps.

I also was worried about paying so much about a flute. I think I paid 600.00 for my daughter. I bought it when she was in 6th grade she is in 8th now. she is still using that flute. No problems what so every. I really did get what I paid for. I also looked at buying from Musician Friend but instead I got it off amazon because of not paying the extra taxes. Also my daughter is going to be in marching band with that same flute next year.

I bought from Hyson Music last week. It is Made in Germany. As another answer, you will get a better mouth piece/ligature most likely. They are not 'wrong' but you should get better ones to match with this 'high end' entry level instrument.

Yes and no. I received one with a black casing & it failed after 3 uses & that was only some short test runs. The replacement had a white case & that is holding up great and is sound activated.

I don't know, but the flute was in great shape and my daughter loves it. We haven't had any issues

It comes with a soft case, but is more like a canvas bag. The mouthpiece is not that great, you may want to invest in a trumpet mouthpiece. Not bad for beginners though.

It's a rubber black piece, with a metal like purple bling case over that. It also came with a small stylist pen that fits in the headphone jack.

http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/winds/flutes/flutes/yfl-221/Here is a link from USA Yamaha, indicating that if not purchased from an authorized dealer, it is most likely fake. The web listing on Amazon says 'by Yamaha' but i think that is incorrect to, it should be Ecomade Arena.

The case is a black molded plastic outside, and the inside is a dark burgundy. I hope this helps, it's a great case. I use it for my Les Paul.

That case in pictures is the standard issue from the manufacturer. Should come with the instrument.

Yes, there is a serial number engraved on the flute and the warranty card is from Yamaha.

No. This case has the padding inside that is the shape of the flute, just like a hard case does.

The new model case the bass is not covered. It has a square metal cover in the center of the back, 2 inch by 3 inch. I hade an earlier model that was covered and the bass was not good. Make sure you get the newest model. This case is far superior than the earlier model. Hope that helps. Any other questions feel free to contact me, Phil Williams, Sarasota, FL
