This inexpensive 13-inch recorder has surprisingly good sound quality. The cream-colored, plastic instrument easily disassembles into three parts and comes with a canvas carrying bag, simple instructions, and a fingering sheet. --Richard Farr

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent "you can't hurt it" recorder, February 22, 2009

I have a more expensive plastic Yamaha recorder at home, but this is the one we are using in an adult "advanced beginners" class. The sound is decent for a plastic recorder. This one is in the trunk of my car and is just taken out once a week for the class. It doesn't clog very easily (something that seems more likely when you've been playing a good wooden one for awhile.) This is a good choice for a beginner recorder. And when I've heard it played by our instructor, the tone is really quite good. Instead of the $2 one piece recorders, splurge :-). Being an acoustic guitar player who has to always be concerned about things like humidity, temperature and having to take great care with an instrument, this is great. Nothing is going to damage it, doesn't take up much space, and you can make music with it. Seriously, this sounds as good as some plastic ones I've heard that cost $15-$30 dollars. The 4 star rating is based on comparably priced plastic recorders, and not the more expensive wooden ones.

I purchased these recorders to teach to my second graders. In the past when I taught third grade, these same recorders were used for them. They are good quality for the students.

This was bought for a 4th grade student for music class at school. It has a good sound and is sturdy enough to survive the daily trip to school in a 9 year old boys backpack.
