Excellent product; the Yamaha 300 series of recorders are the best quality and finest tone plastic recorders I've had experience with (I own the soprano, alto, tenor and bass). A very rich and solid tone in this one compared to other brands I have tried, particularly in the upper octave. I would recommend them for anyone at any level (particularly with the excellent deals you can get for them online, it is a worthwhile purchase for even a beginner). I have owned mine for ~1 and 1/2 years (my sister has owned one for ~7) and used it in a series of recorder quartets for the holidays (some of which we recorded, and the tone was more than sufficient for that). The one caveat is that the mouthpiece tends to become clogged after longer periods of playing (though this happens to some degree in all the recorders I've played, barring soprano).

As a middle aged adult, I wanted something that I could learn to read music with. I needed an instrument that was neither some child's beginner toy, nor some pricey professional grade tool that might not get much use from me. After a few false starts, I bought this Yamaha Alto Recorder and am immensely pleased not only with how easy it's made the learning curve, but with the mellow sounds it produces. Unlike the soprano version, which I also have, that is much cheaper, the Alto version is richer, mellower and much easier to listen to whether one is practicing on it or listening to someone else practice on it. Highly recommended. Easy to learn. Easy to clean. Easy to travel with.
