Essential Information About the Yamaha Series 200 Transverse Flute

• Easy response and reliable intonation: a flute designed for quick progress, with stable sound production and reassuring tuning.


• CY headjoint: embouchure designed to help beginners quickly produce a centered sound, while remaining expressive for further development.


• Ergonomic keywork hand-adjusted: consistent touch, playing comfort, and natural hand positioning.


• Silver-plated nickel silver construction: elegant finish and broad, bright tone with good projection.

A Series 200 Inspired by Yamaha Standards

Within the Yamaha range, the Series 200 incorporates design choices from higher-level models, notably the approach of the Series 300 and 400. The idea is simple: to offer a student flute with a serious feel, refined mechanics, and consistent manufacturing quality that has earned Yamaha its reputation among music schools and developing flutists. Its silver-plated nickel silver finish provides a professional look while remaining suitable for daily use.

For Whom and in Which Styles?

This C flute is primarily aimed at beginners and intermediates: conservatory students, music school attendees, or musicians returning to the instrument. Its CY headjoint and comfortable mechanics facilitate learning sound production, articulation, and dynamics. It is particularly suited to the classical repertoire (studies, exam pieces, chamber music), but also performs well in pop, wind orchestra, or brass band settings, thanks to clear projection and good homogeneity.

Sound and Design

Thanks to its CY headjoint with a double-tapered bore and a specific internal cut core, the instrument offers a quick response and a more obvious sound production sensation to stabilize the tone from the first notes. The desired timbre is rich and warm, while maintaining presence. The drawn-out and rolled tone holes contribute to a broad and bright sound with effective projection, useful in ensemble playing. The body and mechanics in silver-plated nickel silver provide an elegant finish, consistent playability, and a pleasant daily touch.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Delivered with a case, a cover, and a cleaning rod, this flute is ready for lessons and travel. For routine maintenance, you can complement it with cleaning cloths dedicated to the transverse flute (interior/exterior) to preserve the shine of the silver finish and reduce moisture inside the body after playing.
