Product Description
Product Description
ABS recorders are durable and easy to care for while providing a tone similar to that of natural wood. Though other maker's plastic recorders may have a similar appearance, Yamaha ABS recorders are truly superior instruments. They offer an ideal amount of air resistance for easy control, and feature an accuracy of intonation you would expect to find only on more expensive models. The 20 Series models are easy to play throughout their ranges and are primarily intended for beginners.

This inexpensive 13-inch recorder has surprisingly good sound quality. The cream-colored, plastic instrument easily disassembles into three parts and comes with a canvas carrying bag, simple instructions, and a fingering sheet. --Richard Farr

Start with great soundYamaha has been building musical instruments for more than 130 years, so we know what it takes to make a great sound. Our 20-series models produce a classic recorder tone that's pure and in tune across the whole instrument. |
Easy for beginners20-series recorders make it easy to play right from the start. The rectangular airway gives very little resistance, so even a light breath can make a clear note. A great choice for classrooms or beginners of any age! |
Durable and safeMade from the same kind of plastic used in countless popular toys, Yamaha 20-series recorders are built to last for years of reliable use. They can even be washed with soap and water, so keeping them clean is easy. |
Colorful choicesOur see-through blue, green and pink models are playful, but produce the same great sound as our standard ivory colored models. Have fun with your music without sacrificing your tone. |

Baroque vs German fingering - what's the difference?
The basic design of recorders was developed hundreds of years ago during the Baroque music period of the 1600's and early 1700's. This classical style is still preferred by many music teachers and schools, mostly because some specific notes play a little better in tune with this design.
In the 1920's, instrument designers in Germany felt that the standard Baroque recorder was too difficult for beginners to learn, since some notes put the player’s fingers in positions that can feel uncomfortable. Because of this, they made a small change to make those notes easier for a beginner to play. However, there's a trade-off – while the finger positions are easier, those same notes are harder to play in tune.
You can tell which version you have by looking at the 4th and 5th holes down from the top. If the 4th hole is smaller than the 5th, it's Baroque. If the 4th hole is larger, it's German. If you need a recorder to use in school, check with your teacher to make sure you get the right type!

I would recommend it to everyone!
My daughters love it.
The one problem I have with this (which isn’t the recorder necessarily) is that it didn’t come with a cleaning tool. Most recorders (in my experience anyway) come with cleaning tool, but it’s not like I can’t buy one. Other than that, the recorder is great!

Fa e Sol completamente stonati..... Una tortura per le mie orecchie....
Am new to wind instruments. And more used to the Indian way of finger placement (the way fingers are used to close and open a hole) on a flute etc. So had tough time to acclimatize with the western style of using the finger tips to operate the holes. But once that's achieved (though slowly), its fun to explore and excitement to hear the notes. It's going to take time for me at this age of 54 to start playing melodies but I shall keep on trying to practice. Nothing to complain about the product. If you are looking for a Soprano recorder go for this YAMAHA. Thanks again. Ideal for beginners.
