I am just learning the old flute, or recorder. I wanted one of decent quality without paying too much, in case I didn't like it. This recorder has a great sound, especially once a person learns how to properly play it (the cats ran and hid when I first blew into it, now they sit next to me while I play). The recorder is easy to clean, easy to play, and comes in a nice case, with basic instructions for play and care. I definitely recommend this product to others, and I expect it to last me quite awhile.

This is not your father's plastic recorder -- or even your grandfather's! I have a lovely old Dolmetsch plastic alto which has been very nicely revoiced, but these little puppies sound just as good right off the shelf. Fabulous. It has an excellent dynamic range, with minimal fluctuation in pitch; you can push it very hard in all registers to produce an edgy, shakuhachi-like sound, or drop it into a pleasant, expressive piano/dolce, with acceptable intonation. I love it. You need it for all the same reasons we all like to keep a plastic recorder in our bag, playing outside in the rain, lugging on a long train trip without worrying if it's stolen or lost, etc. -- just that it is really a good, basic instrument too.

I played the soprano recorder many years ago, I decided to take it up again. When I received my Yamaha recorder I couldn't wait to try it out. I am very happy with it, it has a good sound and has a recorder purse to keep it in. It sounds better than the one I had at school. It didn't take long for it to arrive. While I waited for it, I found out my local music shop sold a similar recorder at twice the price.
