Thank you for your message.We can confirm that this flute does have a silver lip plate, as well as the Headjoint being Silver. You can also get the YFL312GL which has a gold plated lip plate. We would recommend purchasing some Silver Polish and a Silver polishing cloth. We sell both of these and they really help keeping the silver shiny and avoiding any tarnish marks. Kind regards, Yamaha Music
