Yamaha Alto Recorder, F Key, Baroque, Abs Resin, Brown

This replaced a recorder which I had had from childhood (in those days called a treble, rather than alto) which had been broken and glued together for years. It has a very good tone, is well-tuned, and is easy to play. I can strongly recommend it.

Decided to learn to play recorder during lockdown but didn't want the high pitch of the usual starter instrument. This alto recorder suits adult hands and seems to be doing its job perfectly well. The strange sounding notes are totally due to the duff musician holding it, but the good notes are rewarding. Value for money as a starter instrument.

Good sound for price, Prompt delivery.

Been a long time since playing but it’s a joy to be back using my Yamaha treble. Great parking info etc love it

The recorder was one of my first instruments as a kid - with most kids of my generation actually, and I migrated from the descant to the treble fairly quickly, as I preferred the sound. I also have larger than average hands and found the smaller instruments fiddly. I swapped recorded for guitar for some years, and after my husband bought a Native American style flute, I started hankering for my "treble" days. I just wanted something to toot on once in a while for my own entertainment, and maybe jam with the other half (he has an F flute, so we're complimentary). I wasn't expecting something as good quality as this, with a nice case, solid feel to the instrument and a beautiful sound for the price. For sure - if you're willing to pay out lots of money, you can buy rosewood instruments, which I would love to own, but even my OH was surprised with how well it compared to his wooden flute. I doubt it will sound the same in 30 years, whilst his will probably sound as good, if not better, but all the same I'm very pleased with this, and is ideal for anyone who wants to try the instrument as a change from the descant.

It''s a very good recorder for a beginner on the alto or treble recorder.

Bought this cheap treble just to explore whether or not to take up playing the treble again. I'm no expert, but in my view it sounds quite bright, and achieving the right notes/sounds is fairly easy until you hit b# and higher. It's either my technique, or the recorder - my bet is the recorder given the price. Regret not paying slightly more for an Aulos - however, it's done the trick and I'm hooked. Will certainly replace it though - sooner than later.

Very pleased with it. A good starter instrument.

Got it to learn A Window to the Past by John Williams from Harry Potter, have since learned many others as well

Eine schöne Flöte mit gutem Klang. Perfekt für Einsteiger. Sie kommt in einer schönen Tasche mit allem Zubehör das man braucht.

Bellissimo Flauto Yamaha: economico, davvero bel fatto e il colore Nero è stupendo. Forse unica piccola "nota stonata" sul volume del suono che non è elevatissimo. 5 stelle meritate. Terrò il flauto dopo una lunga ricerca.

Para el instituto de mi hija.

Très bonne flûte alto, efficace, sobre et élégante. Me semble-t-il qu'elle est correctement accordée. Qualité Yamaha, as always !
