tiggell12 Pack 8 Hole Soprano Recorders Descant Flute With Cleaning Rod German Style for Beginner Graduation or Back to School Gift (white)

I bought these for the shoe boxes that we pack. They fit into the boxes and have a really good sound! I will definitely buy these again!

I wanted cheap recorders because I had quite a few students. These were cheap. They came quickly. Each one comes with its own plastic sleeve & a rod for cleaning. They sound like cheap plastic toys but they play the notes well enough to be able to recognize what is being played. These are good for just teaching the basics. The students were told they could purchase their own recorder if they wanted a better sound but these worked fine for learning a few basic songs. You do get what you pay for though; if you want something that looks nicer and/or sounds more musical, you will need to look elsewhere & pay more than what these cost, but these are great for the price.

These recorders are cheap, and that's all they have going for them. The are inconsistent, out of tune, poorly built, and sound terrible. On a set of 12, it would be well worth the extra $30-70 to get high quality Yamaha recorders from here or your local music story. The YRS-20 series is excellent and comes in an array of colors. If you need bulk recorders on a budget, however, this deal can't be beaten.

I was very pleased with the quality and the packaging of these recorders. However, I purchased 60 of these, and one of the sets I received appeared to be absolutely COVERED in a grainy, white substance that I can only imagine was salt. It was EVERYWHERE in that particular set; it even managed to get inside some of the individual bags the recorders came in. It was a pain in the rump to try and get the salt out and off of them. All the other sets were fine, it was just that one, but regardless, I don't believe I'll be purchasing from this seller again.

I bought them for the Christmas Shoeboxes (Franklin Graham) for children. Fun gifts.
