YRS-20BB

Good Product.

My grandson loves it and the color. We purchased it for school and he has learned 2 or 3 songs in the 1st few weeks of using it!

I bought one for my girl and another for my boy (both under 10 years old) just for them to start on an instrument. My girl then prefer clarinet, so I take hers. What I like about this piece: low price, ok sound, easy to clean (separate the 3 segments and rinse through with water and put up on a dish rack to dry). It’s easier to assemble, to blow and make sound than Flute or clarinet. It’s also easy to learn in my opinion. I bought the “Essential Elements for Recorder Classroom Method - Student Book 1,” from which my boy self learn and now teaches me, since he started it one month before I do. Cons: well, if anything, the sound is not as nice as a $500 Yamaha Flute when performing together!!!

Lord, bless all music teachers Make them deaf to off-key renderings Of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" By the little angels in their care. Give them the strength to show up for work Five days per week for three school terms To stand erect without cringing During unending stints of recorder lessons. Grant them patience and perseverance As fat little fingers eagerly seek the tiny holes And blow spittle into the mouthpiece Without ever once hitting a correct note. May their prayers be answered, That by the time of the annual prize-giving ceremony There shall emerge a miracle child To flawlessly perform the obligatory recorder solo Grant them serenity during the summer break And make them forget That come September, a new batch of angels Will take up the challenge, as the cycle begins anew. When the school curriculum calls for recorder lessons, you don't want to go all out and buy a professional woodwind for your seven or eight year old. Out of pity for the teacher, you also don't want to get the cheapest plastic whistle you can find. If you've ever walked past a third grade group during music period, your ears will agree that the teacher should be canonized as a step towards sainthood, or else he or she may be wearing high quality earplugs. This Yamaha recorder is an ideal choice for this application. Not only is the translucent blue a cool and unusual color, but the recorder separates into three pieces for easy cleaning. Therein lies the minor drawback with this instrument, as it doesn't come with the cleaning rod. It however comes with a plastic sleeve and a fingering chart, and is sturdy enough to last until Grade Six and higher. By then, hopefully, you'll be able to determine that it has a great sound for the price. Recommended highly for beginners, and for music classes at school. Amanda Richards, September 17, 2011

It's a Yamaha. They know what they are doing. I may have bought the only screw up they ever produced. The low C# hole is misshapen. I have to half-hole the low C#. That's ok. I'm a whistle player. I bought another one that should be here tomorrow. I will know then if it is a flaw in the design. Other than that little problem, it's a good little recorder. I like that it's see through. I went to Amazon and ordered another Aulos saprano. Those are much better...but, it costs $30. PW Next day. I bought another one. (It's pink.) No problem with it. I guess the blue one just had a flaw. It is unusual to get a defective product from Yamaha. I should keep it; it will probably be worth something some day just because they never mess up. PW

Yamaha is great

Made it through a year of elementary school. Two thumbs up

Todo llegó en perfectas condiciones, tal como la descripción del artículo.

I also own an ivory recorder but this one is way better. A little bit of a gross reason, but I like the fact that you can see the condensation of your breath inside the translucent blue. That means you know exactly when to stop playing and when to start cleaning.

é lindo, mais acabou passando do prazo de entrega, mais finalmente chegou

Es preciosa, el sonido como todo instrumento yamaha espectacular. El color vivo, la calidad perfecta. Es una excelente compra

Flauta dulce Yamaha soprano transparente con digitación barroca "Made in Indonesia", está bien afinada y suena bien. Muy buen precio, con funda de plástico transparente aunque, eso sí, viene sin varilla de limpieza.

Nice production
