Yamaha YRS-24B Plastic Soprano Recorder, Natural

Quality
YAMAHA – They have lived upto the expectations. The build quality is absolutely classic for this price tag. Keep it up YAMAHA. This trust will help you get more business.Am new to wind instruments. And more used to the Indian way of finger placement (the way fingers are used to close and open a hole) on a flute etc. So had tough time to acclimatize with the western style of using the finger tips to operate the holes. But once that’s achieved (though slowly), its fun to explore and excitement to hear the notes. It’s going to take time for me at this age of 54 to start playing melodies but I shall keep on trying to practice. Nothing to complain about the product. If you are looking for a Soprano recorder go for this YAMAHA. Thanks again. Ideal for beginners.

Good
Good quality

Sound
Nice instrument and good quality though I am not expert in judging instrument. Only wish that there was some means to reduce sound volume so as not to disturb neighbours

Beautiful
People who love flute will love this too.

I played sax for from elementary school through late college. I was a decent, albeit nothing special, musician. I do have experience with instruments and specifically, woodwinds.This recorder is not a Selmer. However, especially for the price, it is a solid little instrument. My 6 year old daughter really wanted to learn an instrument, any instrument, and my wife got her a super cheap recorder-like instrument at the dollar store. That was horrible but just a dollar. This cost 6 times more but is easily 25 times better. It is ‘just a recorder’ but it is a real instrument, a type of flute, has a real history, and there is technique to the thing that could make one skilled at this instrument or similar woodwinds in the future (e.g., sax, clarinet, flute). Also a lot easier for my kid to take around and practice on, still learn how to read music, and accommodates her hand size better than a bigger instrument like a piano. In addition to playing, we’re having some good together time, and she’s learning some rhythm and how to read music. This thing fits my daughter’s hands well, and she has taken to it and even diligently practices it. She is already picking up a few songs and could play a song after our first ‘lesson’.It even sounds better than I was expected. Sure, a plastic soprano recorder isn’t that far off from a shrill whistle with holes, especially if you just blow on the thing. But being gentle with your breath, proper technique with your tongue (I know how that sounds), and it doesn’t sound that bad. The youtube recorder lesson number 1 by Mr. Hines covers this. It isn’t hard.I haven’t played sax in years but have been enjoying picking this up with my kid.Very pleased, especially for the price. Note that the recorder pulls apart into three pieces for cleaning (but has no rod but not a big deal). It comes in a little cloth sack of decent quality which is sufficient to establish a habit of treating an instrument with respect and putting it away when done…but isn’t a hard or soft case in any sense. This said, this thing seems pretty durable. I wouldn’t use it as a hammer, but occassional drops or piling stuff on top of it isn’t going to damage it.Well done.

My daughter loves it..good piece to have at this price. Nice Build quality and sound quality
