## Overview

The Yamaha YRA-402B is a 3-piece alto recorder in F Major made from innovative plant-based Ecodear plastic, delivering a rich, wooden-like tone with superior control thanks to its arched windway design. Lightweight and inspired by Yamaha’s renowned 300 series, it offers professional sound quality and eco-conscious craftsmanship, ideal for both budding and experienced musicians.

## Description

Yamaha 400 series recorders are made from a special plastic called Ecodear that's made from plants. In addition to being better for the environment than regular plastic, the Ecodear body is also a little more dense, giving these instruments a richer sound that's more similar what you'd hear from a wooden instrument. The YRA-402B is a 3-piece Alto recorder in the key of F, with traditional baroque fingering.

Review: Amazingly good! - A remarkably good recorder at an incredibly low price and with a lovely tone equal to a wooden instrument. Perfect for practicing without the need to “play-in” or swab out immediately - I tend to snatch very short practices between interruptions! There is an initial tendency for the windway to clog, as with most recorders, but this goes away when the instrument has warmed up. When the recorder is pushed to its limits the low notes can be satisfyingly loud! When is the tenor model coming out?
Review: very pleased - I have been playing Descant recorder for some years and wanted to learn how to play the Alto as well. I have another plastic Alto and wanted something that would be a step up from that one but not too expensive. This is just what I was hoping for and more. It has a lovely tone much better than my other one and the notes sound much clearer not at all airy. I can see me using this one for many years. Very Happy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is this in key of 'f', I understood  tenors were in 'c' ?**
A: Hi   This is an alto recorder, also known as a treble recorder.  It is not a tenor recorder.  Alto/treble recorders are in F, while tenors are in C, as you say.  If you're looking for a tenor recorder, you might consider the Aulos at https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GQNRVKC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  I bought this and was please with it because I have smallish hands and had struggled with other tenors.

*by R***E on 28 September 2018*

I love this Alto recorder. I bought this to replace my wooden recorder as practice was making it soggy with spit. Yuk!! It has a lovely sound and finger coverage of the holes is very good. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.
