(both are Yamaha Tenors). Thanks.** A: I'm not sure about the difference between the yrt-304B and the yrt-304BII ( might be plain double hole verses double keyed hole on the bottom hole) . I do know this - yrs = yamaha recorder soprano , yra = yamaha recorder alto , yrt = yamaha recorder tenor , and yrn = yamaha recorder soprano in the key of F ( instead of C ) . I ordered a yrt304-b and this is a tenor in the key of C with an arched wind way and double key on bottom hole .Hope this helps . **Q: is this tuned to 415 or 440?** A: This is tuned to a = 440. I have never seen a plastic recorder tuned to 415. That kind of instrument is usually made to order and is quite expensive. This Yamaha Tenor recorder is a fine instrument and is in tune from top to bottom. **Q: Does this come with a case?** A: Yes, this recorder will come with a soft vinyl case, cleaning rod, cream/joint grease and a fingering chart as well. I hope this helps! **Q: What is the finish on this recorder? I was hoping to find a Yamaha tenor recorder in simulated rosewood, like my soprano and alto.** A: The finish is a glossy dark mahogany brown to be expected with ABS plastic. I consider it to look reasonably favorable when compared with its wood compatriots. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente *by E***O on 7 July 2019* Sonido muy agradable ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tenor to start off with *by B***T on 6 July 2025* Why did you choose this product over others?: Good reputation of brand Size: Tenor keys are easier to reach than other brands I have small hands & with practice can reach the lowest notes comfortably- but you will take a little time to get accustomed to the stretch Cleaning ability: easy to clean with the cleaning rod provided Build quality: remember to remove the white protective ends before you assemble this tenor ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully sonorous ... modifiable for those of us with smaller hands. Superior to some more expensive wooden counterparts. *by A***E on 12 December 2011* Marvellously engineered, this is a beautifully sonorous instrument, solo or ensemble. At the top of the resin heap, the YRT304B has become my favorite out of the entire recorder family. It is also affordable at $59 - a fraction (10%-20%) of the cost of a wooden recorder of equivalent quality. Easy to maintain without the need for the initial "breaking in" process or need for ongoing oiling, it is immediately playable out of the box and easily replaceable should it be lost or damaged, though due to it's durable resin construct, it is an extremely hard wearing instrument which navigates temperature fluctuations well (not affected as with it's sensitive wooden counterparts). Washable, portable - what more can you ask. The only thing it is short of is: prestige value and the "edge" of exceptional handmade counterparts. Great utility and performance. Ideal spare or travel instrument or to bring on the road. Marketed as "professional" line. For the Adult Beginner seeking an instrument to play - this is ideal. Most relate to tenor recorder's sonorous tones and find it has a relaxing quality, calming even organic (wooden sound) - the only reason school children start learning those squeaky high pitched descants is because of reach limitations. Strain-free playing for smaller hands ======================== Out of the box, the YRT304B requires the widest reach handspanwise due to its unique hole positions (the Bass is easier to play because it already comes goosenecked and with added keys) and of those who manage to play the Tenor in it's straight unmodified form, there is talk about hand strains and sprains after prolonged play. All's not lost however, due to an emerging demographic of aging and arthritic tenor players, the Tenor can be now be professionally "custom modified" per individual requirements - so that smaller hands/shorter arms can now play it with ease and so that universally, the instrument can be played without undue sprains and strains, previously endured by tenor players. Well to start with my hands are too small for it, but I was determined to play the Tenor, so I had it professionally modified in the US prior to shipping at Bill Lazar's earlymusicshop based in CA. He simply added a gooseneck to the headjoint to shorten the instrument and two added keys at the 3rd and 4th holes on the body - in short, I had the works. Depending on your body's unique dimensions, each person has different requirements. In my case I needed all three mods, whilst for another it could be just the one of 3 and for another, 2 of 3 in varying combos. Bill did a great job - it wasn't cheap but I can now play the tenor EASILY AND ENJOY it. Well worth the investment. The total cost of a new tenor with full modification comes up to just a little over a quarter the cost of a wooden Mollenhauer. Well it may not have the prestige of a wooden European recorder but it fulfils it's niche function excellently. $59 from amazon, it is RRP$199 which is usually discounted down to $149 in oz. Hard to pass by. Buy with confidence as each instrument is of uniform quality which delivers a known reliable level of performance, unlike handmade gems which need to be painstakingly picked out from a bunch of instruments and difficult to replace due to it's unique handmade qualities. The 3 top reviews have said mostly everything there is to say about the YRT-304B II. Hope this adds some further value to what is already said. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha YRT-304B Tenor Recorder, Key of C , Black - Yamaha YRA-302B Alto Recorder, smooth brown finish, key of F - Yamaha YRS-302B Soprano Recorder, Baroque fingering, Key of C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/269603618-yrt-304b-tenor-recorder-key-of-c-black](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/269603618-yrt-304b-tenor-recorder-key-of-c-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
