This was my first wooden recorder and it was great value for money. It sounds so much better than the plastic recorders, even the good ones such as the Yamaha 300 series. Pity it doesn't come with a better bag or case. It is just a transparent plastic bag but the recorder is well worth the price. You should also remember that wooden recorders require extra care. If you are just buying a recorder for a young kid, you're better off with the plastic ones.

This recorder has a nice design, more streamlined than the typical recorder. It plays in tune, and sounds as good as my more expensive plastic recorder. All the notes can be hit, and the smell and taste of the wood add to the experience. It is made in China not Germany but it is handsomely made. Would be excellent for people who want a wood recorder for period reenactments. Well worth the cost, I plan on buying another as a back up.

My 13-yrs old daughter wanted a better recorder than the cheap plastic one she had for several years. I decided to go with this wood recorder and have not been disappointed. I also bought her a teach yourself recorder book and she has been playing some beautiful music. This was a great purchase!
