YAMAHA YRS20BB Recorder - Soprano Recorder, Baroque fingering, Translucent Blue

This is a great recorder - especially for the price! I bought it for my son, who's just started lessons at school. It didn't need to make an especially good sound, although it does deliver that. It's a lovely bright cheerful colour, and my son won't be getting it mixed up with anyone else's either! Very easy to see when it needs a clean, too, due to the transparency. Very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend to anyone.

This product is loved by the little oneShe loves using it and finds it very easy to use and this product is very easy to clean and put back together againVery good value

Good recorder. Perfectly in tune, as you'd expect from Yamaha, except for very highest notes in upper register which beginner players won't need much anyway. Transparent green colour looks very cool too. The only downside of transparent recorders is you get to see all your condensation/spit inside it! One slight problem is that the condensation builds up especially in the upper part near the mouthpiece and is actually quite hard to swab out. Some gets left even after washing under running tap. But another benefit of plastic recorder is that you CAN wash it out under running tap. Overall I love this recorder. It plays very well and has a great feel to hold and play.

Remarkable for the price.

I love this - it's great quality, comes in a good protective plastic case and the colours are fun. I first started playing a wooden recorder 50 years ago, then everyone moved on to the standard issue brown plastic recorder. Now, these bright and cheerful Yamahas' are a delight - modern progress with no loss of quality.

Yamaha recorders are always perfectly in tune and also in tune with themselves across their range. The range is always good with both high and low notes being stable and easy to achieve. Just a little disappointed as I ordered 1 green and 1 blue. Neither were the colour originally depicted. The pale blue has been on site for years and I have bought that colour before. The green was a pale, leaf green. What they sent was two dingy turquoise colours, both the same. I’ve sent one back and kept the other. It’s not the worst thing in the world, of course, just one of life’s tiny disappointments. Interestingly, the colours pictured on Amazon have now changed. This is all since the third week in December.
