EVERY PERSON need some instrument. This is probably as cheap as it gets to secure one. And a good one to that. You really can make a professionally sounding sounds with it. It is all what you make out of it.

I bought this because I needed a cleaning rod, could use a second soprano recorder, and was curious how an off-brand ABS recorder compared with an inexpensive ABS Yamaha.The head joint is too tight, in fact much "tighter" than the glue joint that is meant to permanently bond the mouthpiece to the head. I'll be sanding down the injection flash on the barrel side of the head joint, then gluing the head together with model airplane glue. Then I'll see how much I play this recorder.I gave the Yamaha to my wife, because its intonation feels more reliable and my wife is just learning.The cleaning rod works fine.

Brought for music class in school

It's good for beginners, has good tone. But, the top is a little loose. Ideally, it should be snug like having to unscrew it.

Easy to clean

It's definitely an instrument for beginners but it was enough for my music class. The white mouth part on mine comes off. And it's not one of the 3 pieces that are supposed to come apart. But it works regardless you just have to reattach this piece. Not a terrible purchase for the price.

This is my first recorder! I got a late start. I'm 76 years old. I'm thoroughly pleased with it. I play along with my 22 month old grand daughter who also has a recorder! After being so pleased with this one, I've ordered 4 more Aulos recorders (soprano, sopranino, alto and a Garklein) from Amazon. Thank you Aulos and Amazon! --- Ed Debrito, Simi Valley CA
