Yamaha YRS-23 Soprano Recorder, German Fingering, Natural 1.00 x 2.00 x 13.75

This Yamaha recorder has a clean, soft tone and is really easy to play, even for a complete beginner. It feels sturdy and not cheap like some other plastic models. Nice that it comes with a cloth case too.

Ami hijo le pidieron una flauta para la escuela. Salio muy buena. Y facil de limpiar. Perfecta

I wish I could say I enjoyed this product, however, I purchased it for my nine-year-old’s music class. I don’t really understand why we continue to subject parents to the rehearsal and practice of the recorder when it is literally one of the worst frequencies of instruments known to man. I will give this a 10 out of 10, simply for the fact that it performs in the way that it is intended. I will, however apologize to any other parent that is required to purchase this on behalf of their kid. Stay strong. I suggest pairing this purchase with a pair of noise canceling headphones.

I bought this for my daughter’s music class at school. She loves that it comes with a cleaner and it is durable enough for her to travel back and forth to school with several days per week. It works well for her music class and is portable. She is 10 and has no issues with playing it, as it comprable to some of the more expensive ones. Happy with purchase.

Mi hija está feliz con su flauta

Durable with great playability and sleek look. Easy enough to clean.

As I am writing this review, my son is happily practicing some tune he learned in music class which I just cannot recognize. It sounds like hot cross buns mixed with jingle bells, mixed with a healthy dose of not quite being in tune. I am simultaneously happy that he is enjoying this instrument and exploring music, and frightened that his current fad with the recorder might be long lasting.Like most of the parents purchasing this, I received notice from my son's school that this exact recorder must be purchased for music class. So I dutifully did. The recorder is make of very nice plastic, has a very pleasing color that looks like ivory, and has this uncanny ability to convince anybody to pick it up and blow into it as if they can magically play a little tune. I tried, my wife tried, and neither one of us could do anything with it other than make each other's ears bleed.The recorder comes in a nice canvas storage pouch. The minute I took it out of the pouch and looked at it, it instantly reminded me of my time in grade school music class blowing away at this thing. Ahhh, memories.The recorder appears to be pretty solid. So far it has survived the abuse sustained by being in my son's back pack like a champ. Hopefully it'll last until his younger sister needs it for music class in a couple years.
