I highly recommend the Yamaha Flutes and Piccolos for the beginner and intermediate student. The sound in all three octaves is fantastic and these instruments are sturdy, not needing constant repairs. Especially if the student takes care of the instrument. Here are a few suggestions and recommended models:
| BEGINNER STUDENT MODEL |
| Yamaha YFL-221 |
Student model, all silver plated, plateau (closed hole), C footjoint. |
| INTERMEDIATE MODELS |
| Yamaha YFL-361H |
Sterling silver headjoint, silver plated body, footjoint and keys, french (open hole), offset G, B footjoint |
| Yamaha YFL-461H |
Sterling silver headjoint, body and footjoint, silver plated keys, french (open hole), offset G, B footjoint |
