It’s well built. But a steep learning curve, and it’s got only one volume: loud.

Yamaha 20-series Recorders
Start with great sound
Yamaha 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 beginners
20-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 safe
Made 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 choices
Our 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!

Seems pretty great.
This is my first recorder since grade school so my frame of reference is quite limited, but it sure seems like a quality product at a great price; which is not surprising because every experience I've ever had with Yamaha products... Waverunner, stereo receiver, integrated amp, powered subwoofer, acoustic guitar, tennis racket... has been great (knock on wood)! This recorder looks great, feels solid, has a nice tone, and comes with an attractive pouch.

Reviewed in India on January 16, 2023
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.
