Again on a lark, I bought an EC head (just to try as I mostly play jazz and rock) on SOTW for a good price, and it was yet another quantum leap. Came with a plated head that had a gold lip plate and was labeled 40th edition.dramatically outplayed my 225S which went on the market. About 10 years ago on a lark (saw a sale ad at in the NL) bought a 40th edition YFL211. Bought a used 225S and quickly sold the Gemmy. I learned to play flute on a Gemeinhart 3SB decades ago, and got sick of the open holes (I'm a longterm doubler with sax as my axe). So unless the flute is marked only the serial number can specify when the flute was made and exactly what it is. Of course they've moved on from only offering the EC.Īs you can see there were quite a few choices before they settled on the EC. The list below contains discontinued options. So there was a period between the options listed below and presently where the EC was the only headjoint. I bought it used from Sam Ash in 2007.Īt that time the Yamaha representative informed me that all of their flutes would have the EC from then on. That's when they told me that it has the EC and that the "A" at the end of the serial number indicated that it was made in Anerica, probably in Michigan. I found out by calling Yamaha here in Buena Park and giving them the serial number. My 581 is not marked as having an EC headjoint.
