I ordered this for my 8-year-old daughter's music class at her school. She specifically needed a Baroque recorder, and this one not only impressed me with the price, but the sound is beautiful, and it's very easy to play. She's really enjoyed it! I also appreciated that a soft cloth bag, cleaning rod, and instruction sheet were included. A really great price for a quality product!

Aulos has the best sound quality you can get in a plastic recorder. This is a great recorder for a beginner, and I have bought many of these over the years to give to kids in the kindergarten/elementary school age group to get them started in music. When I was a beginner in kindergarten, I was trained on a crappy plastic recorder, and I got terribly frustrated trying to make it sound good, not realizing that it was the recorder (not me) that was the problem. The Aulos model not only sounds good, but it has an adjustable position for the bottom finger and an adjustable rest for the right thumb, a big help to beginners with little hands. Compared to wood, plastic is a very tough and easy to care for option for a kid, as kids tend to drop them, bite them, and forget to dry them after use. Aulos plastic recorders in other sizes (besides soprano) are also the best you can get without going to much more expensive wood.
