Yamaha Yrs-20 3 Piece Soprano Recorder, Pink

My daughter needed a recorder for 3rd grade music class, and this one fits all the school requirements. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and very simple to take apart for cleaning — perfect for kids. The material is solid plastic, not flimsy at all, and it feels durable. The sound seems clear (we haven’t used it much yet), and it fits perfectly in her school backpack. The color is more of a translucent hot pink/red than what you see online, but she still loved it because it looks fun and different. It’s a real Yamaha, so you know it’s not a toy. Would also be a perfect gift, for any kid starting music class.

My daughter really like this product it was perfect for her music class and 1 thing that I like it was mgive me opciones to choose the color.

I have been playing recorder almost forty years, in ensembles and as a soloist. I have some very nice instruments, but I have to be careful where I take them out of fear that they will be damaged by weather or, even worse, stolen. I decided to buy a Yamaha YRS-20 soprano because the price was right and many Amazon users had spoken well of it. First of all, I am very impressed by the quality of construction of the YRS-20. It has the feel of quality throughout. The joints fit quite well. There are no burrs from the molds. Everything is nice and smooth. The translucent blue, green and pink colors are very attractive and are sure to please younger players. As for the tonal quality, I'm amazed that such an inexpensive instrument can sound so good. It is bright and clear and easy to hit the high notes. Intonation is quite acceptable. I had a little trouble hitting the lowest "C" in the beginning, but that improved as the recorder warmed up. I recommend the YRS-20 to anyone who is even remotely interested in dabbling in reorder music. In fact, I liked mine so much that I bought four more to use as spares and to give to friends. Yamaha also makes more advanced plastic models that rival some wood instruments and they are also very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a lot of "bang for your buck" in recorders, Yamaha is the way to go. I'm not saying that Yamaha is the only good manufacturer of plastic recorders, but I think you'll find a consistent level of quality with Yamaha that you may not find with other companies.

I have a 6 year old who fell in love with a recorder bought at the Dollar Store. It was very difficult to play and the notes were not in tune. I wanted to encourage her musical persuits, so I bought her what I thought would be a level up from a "toy" recorder. It was a pack of 3 recorders sold here on Amazon. While better quality than the Dollar Store, the notes were again not in tune and it was difficult to get a good sound from the "instruments". I returned them and decided to just stick with a name brand instrument and bought this inexpensive Yamaha. The third time is a charm. This recorder is easy to get a decent sound out of, and the notes are in tune; they matched the same notes on our piano. Skip the "no name" brands and go with Yamaha if you are looking for an instrument instead of a toy.

Got this for my little sister’s music class. She loves the color. Only wish it came with a cleaner. She’s excited to start learning!

Great crisp sound

I bought it for my daughter's music class. It's an excellent recorder, durable material and great to play.

Does the job!! Daughter loves the color!

Possedendo già un flauto a digitatura tedesca (quello utilizzato nelle scuole) ho voluto acquistare uno a digitatura barocca per esercitarmi nel livello "avanzato" del flauto dolce. Il suono è migliore e più fluido rispetto a quello a digitatura tedesca (infatti è proprio caratteristica di quello barocco). La fattura è eccellente e ad un prezzo ottimo; e poi il colore e la trasparenza lo rendono davvero originale! Poi la Yamaha è una tra le migliori! Forse non è adatto per la scuola, visto che quasi sempre si consiglia quello a digitatura tedesca; ma secondo me è un valido acquisto per chi è interessato specificamente a questo tipo di flauto.

Buen producto.

É bonita e mantém a afinação.

Comprei a flauta para dar de presente de aniversário para minha netinha e ela amou. produto de ótima qualidade.

Ma fille a débuté le piano cette année et a solfège depuis deux ans, elle a souhaité jouer des partitions de notes à la flûte pour mieux chanter ses exercices finalement cela l'amuse beaucoup, je lui ai même appris quelques morceaux dont je me souvenais de l'école.le placement avec ses petits doigts est un peu laborieux. Le son me paraît correct et la flûte a un joli design
