Product Description

Players of all levels will enjoy the precise, uniform intonation of the 20 series recorders. This recorder, made of ABS resin, combine outstanding Yamaha quality with durability for the ultimate in a lightweight recorder. Ease of play makes the 20 series the perfect place to start. Some find the German fingering easier to learn since it does not require the "forked" fingering for F. A three-piece recorder has several advantages: some people find three-piece recorders easier to clean; small adjustments for ease of fingering or intonation can be made to the foot joint; and if you have a group of children who like to play their recorders when they should be listening, you can have them take off the head joint to practice fingerings without making any noise.

yamaha recorders are awesome. great to learn on and even play at high levels. extremely easy to care for since you don't need to worry about wood cracking or getting too wet.

if you want to play with someone else and the recorders are not quite in tune with each other, here is a cool trick: slide off the top of the recorder by a milimeter, or so, to slightly change the tune of the recorder (i.e. don't press the top part all the way to the barrel and leave a small gap). this can have you playing perfectly in tune with others in no time!

I noticed at least four new members of my class who now own the same model . Amazon seems to be a popular source for our group.
