For sale is a fully restored Yamaha 211sii with all new Prestini pads and new case
This flute is now in excellent condition with the mechanics of the instrument in nearly new condition.
The work carried out 1) Complete re-pad with Prestini Pads. These are top quality pads all made with double skins and compressed felt to produce a firm stable pad that should last for many years
2) All corks have been replaced to make the regulation and vent heights as close to new as possible (I haven't replaced the 3 plastic corks on the trill keys and E flat key as these are Yamaha standards)
3) New head cork
4) Fully service stripped down, cleaned and oiled
5) Removal of couple of dinks on the headjoint.
6) Refitted Footjoint and Headjoint The Flute comes with metal cleaning stick and brand new flute case which is nice, compact and light.
Cosmetic issues. 1)Small dink and sizable scratch to lip plate. (see pic.)
2)Small cosmetic damage to end of foot joint (see pic)
3)There are 1 or 2 very small dinks that can be seen in the right light but are to small for photos All these issues in no way effect the playing of the instrument and generally the plating is in good condition. This Yamaha is the latest model and the best student model you can buy with good resale value and excellent long term performance.
