It's constructed without the Split E mechanism, which can complicate learning the instrument. Per private and school music teachers, the flute's durability renders it an excellent choice. The YFL222 also comes with a generous 3-year Yamaha warranty, making it an attractive option for students. Yamaha Flute YFL222 - Student model features are: Key Type Covered (or Plateau) keys are easy to use. The pad cup is covered so it will seal the tone-hole any time the key is closed. This is common with beginners or others who may not always press the centre of the key. Key System Many players find the Offset G configuration easier to play. Often teachers recommend that beginners start on these flutes. CY Headjoint Featuring a double flare taper and a unique embouchure hole undercut design for excellent response and a warm rich tone, the CY head-joint helps beginners quickly learn to produce a beautiful sound. More advanced players will appreciate its even, quick response in all registers. Keys All key shapes and placement have been ergonomically designed for a comfortable, natural-feeling performance. The keys are hand-assembled and adjusted for perfect balance and 'touch.' Pointed Key Arms A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms. This beautiful key design is inspired by traditional European style. Adjustment Screws Yamaha's unique screw resistance inserts allow smooth adjustments while preventing gradual loosing of the screws. For easier access, the screw positioning has been changed.
