I just finished up a Yamaha 221 tonight and will be listing it later this after noon. It is in brand new condition and wait till you see the gold accents I added to it. I had a lot of fun with this one. I almost want to keep it! These flute play so nice, I just love them! Pictures will be up soon.
Now I have two more 225s coming in. They are both to arrive on Monday (10-6) of this coming week. I usually have them done and up for sale on my site by the next day if I have time to work on them that day. I will do my best
I don't have a headjoint from a 500/600 series, sorry.

IMHO, the difference in sound and playability by adding an EC headjoint would be so small that I don't think it would be worth it. You would be much further ahead by trying to add a headjoint by another company like Powell, Burkart or Nagahara.
Kara...I love it. That is one seriously 'pimped-out' 200 series!!!
I paid half again that amount a while back for a new 40th anniversary "J40" flute (close-out sale from Matthews), which is basically a 211 with similar gold-plate to the head...has a very effective split E on top of it.
I'll bet mine doesn't play any better.
I'd be curious offline (shmuelyosef AT gmail) how much you would charge to do this to a Nippon Gakki 225S.
Wow, those are beautifully unique! I love the touches of gold in random places.
I was oogling some Ian McLauchlin headjoints the other day, and they have stones in the crown. But I love the amethyst one on your site. That's my stone
searching...
as my flute is fine as it is
