How much to ask for a YAMAHA YFL221N?

Irish Flute

Hi guys!

I’ve got a japanese Yamaha YFL221N. I want to sell it, but I don’t know how much to ask for.
It’s in good shape, it could use a manteinance and a pad change. A secondary b key needs repair too.
I’ve also a question, ¿the Yamaha YFL-211N It’s better or not than mine, Yamaha YFL-221N?

About price I’ve seen YFL-221N in some pages:

http://www.guitarsampsetc.com/Products/Yamaha%20YFL-221N%20Standard%20Flute.html U$S804.-
http://es.willyfogg.com/p31209956/Flauta+Transversal+estándar+niquelada+YFL221N/ U$S603.-
http://www.pronto.com/compare/yamaha-yfl-221n-standard-flute-10305224580 U$S589.- (CHEAPEST)

Now I want to know how much to ask for my flute that needs some cleaning ans repair.

Thanks! :smiley:

You might get some suggestions here. But the emphasis of this forum is on the Irish timber flute - simple system wooden flute - not the silver Boehm system orchestral flute like yours.

Can anyone point the OP to an appropriate online venue?

I’d think about $100 if it’s in good shape.
They’re only $450 new on ebay

I wouldn’t bother. Any repair person will want to do an overhaul which costs about $300 - well worth it for a good flute. However, if it sells for $450 new, you’re not going to get much from someone who has to find a person to repair it after they get it. Too many used flutes on the market to be worth the trouble.
