YAMAHA Recorder - Alto baroque fingering, white

Good quality, purchased for my 10 year old, she can only just reach all the notes but is small for her age. Good sound Pleased.

It has a pleasant alto sound compared to the soprano version - hence we purchased this. My wife can play it brilliantly. Build quality is also excellent, it feels good to hold in your hands.

High quality instrument with a nice sound.

Arrived promptly. Is of good quality as far as I - a novice player -can tell.

Purchased this today and had a good play on it. I can read music but like to play by ear mostly. Flute (recorder) has a nice enough tone and is a full eight hole octave, in the normal British fingering Baroque Style with the handy half holes which is used by schools, music colleges, universities etc. It is of a sturdy, well made construction, rather like the Aulios but unlike other makes, this comes in a nice cheery cream colour, which makes a pleasant change to your usual dark tones. Accessories are a zipper fabric ‘protection case’ along with a fingering chart, tub of joint lube - which is obviously vaseline ! - a plastic cleaning rod, joint protection spacers and a contact list of Yamaha global head offices. Dropped a star cos it clogs quite easily which can affect sound quality, but that’s what you have to expect with plastic and for this price range. More expensive ones are more refined and don’t clog so easily, neither do the wooden ones; but bear in mind wood is harder to clean. If it’s an issue for you and you need to play reliably for longer periods of time, then it’s best to spend double this price at least. I’m happy enough with mine though, as it goes the distance for me before clogging (about half an hour) and serves its purpose. Comfortable for a teenager/adult to hold with an average to small handspan and easy enough to get your fingers around. I originally learned recorder in the typical key of C and this starts in F but it was surprisingly easy to make the adjustment AND I much prefer the Alto to those squeaky school Sopranos!!

Nice sound. I've enjoyed learning it.

Bought for Xmas present my son loved it

Happy with the purchase. It sounds exactly as my previous model, Yamaha YRa 28BII. Quick posting too! Would buy again if needed.

لم اري شيء مما تمت كتابته في الوصف و طلبت الارجاع منذ فترة بعيدة و لم يتم رد اموالي حتي الان و انا غاضب جدا و ربما اضطر الي تحريك دعوي قضائية

Perfect one but look so long

Fast response and quick delivery. Item received in good condition. Larger than the Soprano recorder. Takes a short while to get use to it. A German type would be easier for me since I am used to German type.

Pretty good quality, the sound is great, and just a fun instrument to learn. I wanted to learn recorder just for the fun of it and to learn Brandenburg Concerto 2 and 4 on it. Few things I must note: - USE THE RECORDER CREAM, otherwise you’re going to have a hard time disassembling the recorder - The manual is in Japanese but you can learn recorder through videos or classes anyway.

It's perfect size, really good sound, and surprisingly good strength. Best value for money Alto Recorder.
