Yamaha YRA-402B Alto Recorder, Ecodear plastic, Key of F, Brown, White

Recibí mi flauta esta semana y me quede convencido de la calidad del sonido, ya tenia otra flauta igual de platico pero está tiene un sonido mejorado las dos son Yamaha pero está hecha con material orgánico tiene el mejor sonido, recomiendo este producto.

Thia is my first Alto. I love the sound!

Outstanding quality; sound is fantastic. Highest recommendation. Item shipped fast, well-packaged. All good!Love that the instrument is eco-friendly!

Nice quality alto with a unique and bit more mellow sound than normal plastic.I really like the color combination too.A bit difficult to get used to due to it's thinner archer windway, but you get used to it.Not as loud and annoying as normal plastic, but if you want tons of volume, choose something in the 300 range of recorders.Maybe even the cheap old standby with the straight windway, the 28 (eggshell white).Be prepared to clear the moisture a little more often with this style windway.It helps to pre-warm the recorder quite a bit.I paid $35, and I would absolutely recommended it at that price point or less.At that price, you can easily afford to spend another $23 and get the model 28 so you have both styles of windways on hand to play around with.I'm receiving my 28 tomorrow.

Really nice recorder. Sturdy, plays beautifully. Shipped in a timely fashion. Price well worth it.

This Yamaha alto eco dear surpassed my expectations. I've some wooden altos so I can compare. The high notes in the ecodear are easy to hit and the sound is sweet. The low F is easy to get with a dark and mellow tone. Beautiful indeed for the price.

This alto recorder has a very nice tone, is easy to play in tune, is well made, and feels sturdy. This alto recorder is good for anyone learning to play the recorder or for more experienced player who want to have a backup recorder or to use in practice.Like other alto recorders, a beginner with small hands may have some difficulty to reach the last hole with the right pinkie; but this is not specific to this model and applies to any model.It is easy to clean and comes in a storage/carrying bag with a cleaning rod and recorder cream.The price is great for a product that is well made and has good sound quality.

I would love to give this a 5 star and for me it is but for someone who has never played recorder it would be a minus 1…WHY the fingering chart is for a soprano recorder, this is an alto recorder. I play soprano and recognized within a couple of minutes the errors. Also all the instructions are in I guess Chinese so a non player would not be aware. Unless someone plays soprano recorder they are going to learn all the wrong fingerings. How awful that would be when they wanted to play with others. If the chart were for the correct key I would definitely give a 5+. Hope this is a one time error.Addendum, further checking shows fingering chart for both soprano and alto recorder on the sheet, however unless you can read Chinese you would not know which one to use….still giving 1 star
