Nuvo B07BMHD7W5 Recorder with Hard Case, Black/Blue

学校から勧められて購入しました。 学校で使うリコーダーではなかなか薬指、小指まで押さえられなかったのですが、こちらは押さえやすいようで、喜んで練習しています！

I had been looking for a recorder that had some kind of keying system instead of simply holes to plug with your fingertips, because I work with kids that love the idea of playing the recorder but struggle to grasp the concept or Master the manual dexterity involved with completely covering the holes to it correctly play each note. I had given up and then this popped into my Amazon suggestions and I was immediately sold both because it was exactly what I was looking for and because of the price point. That being said, it has a wonderful timbre that is--in my opinion--superior to that of the quite expensive equivalent by a certain company from Japan that has a very good reputation for making musical instruments as well as some other stuff. The silicone key system works beautifully, and my one client in particular who really enjoys playing music but simply doesn't seem to be able to cover the holes in a conventional recorder has been delighted with this instrument. Now that manual dexterity is no longer an impediment, we have been able to focus on embouchure and air supply and we are moving towards teaching him to actually play some songs. And that is a wonderful thing. I only have two criticisms for this instrument, and they both come as somebody who's played woodwinds for over 20 years (although 20 years ago I was "but a lad"). First is that the very bottom note on the instrument is actually quite difficult to play correctly. When playing anything upbeat or loud, it tends to overblow (meaning I play a note that is much higher pitch than the note I'm trying to play). I struggle to even play that note by itself deliberately, with the note only playing correctly when I am using a very very light breath pressure. I have honestly largely treated the instrument as though it doesn't even play that note, because even with my many years of practice with the clarinet, saxophone, and recorder, I struggle with it and simply would rather avoid it then consistently get it wrong. My other criticism is that the notes which on the regular recorder are played by covering one of the two holes in one finger position rather than both of them are supposed to be played on this instrument by "resting" the finger on the silicone keypad rather than "pressing" it. I'm not sure if my large fingers are an issue here or not, but I have truly struggled with this as well and, although I am quite confident in my skill with woodwinds in general, I hope to be able to figure it out eventually and have even wondered if my instrument is defective. All together though I'm giving this five stars because I don't need my younger students to be able to play the chromatic scale, I need them to be able to play "hot cross buns" and "Mary had a Little Lamb," or potentially something as complicated as "Yankee Doodle."

The kid likes it and happy with it.
