Yamaha YRS-24B Plastic Soprano Recorder, Natural 14.00 x 2.00 x 2.00

I purchased the Yamaha YRS-24B Soprano Descant Recorder, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It has a nice, clean sound that’s easy to produce, making it great for beginners, students, or anyone wanting to relearn the recorder. The finger holes are comfortable, and the instrument feels lightweight without feeling flimsy.I also appreciate that it comes with a soft storage bag to help keep it clean and protected when not in use. The recorder appears well-made, and the classic ivory color gives it a nice traditional look.Overall, this is a quality recorder at a reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend it for school music classes or casual practice.

My kids love this and play it constantly. Easy to learn and clean. Great quality, very thick and sounds great. Definitely recommend for the price.

My son asked for a recorder, and this Yamaha soprano model is perfect. The build quality is fantastic, it feels sturdy, well-made, and durable enough to handle daily practice. It's a great, budget-friendly instrument for a child learning music. It also comes with a little cloth carrying bag. Highly recommend!

Unlike typical souvenir-style or even hand-made flutes, Recorders are made with precise tunings such that the finger pattern for each note is standard from one flute to another, making them suitable for group playing, learning to read sheet music and so on. Recorders are proper members of the woodwind group of instruments used in orchestral and chamber music. In this respect it is much more than a toy.This very inexpensive and nearly indestructible plastic knock-off of the traditional soprano 'recorder' wooden flute is the entry level medium for music instruction in Waldorf (aka Rudolf Steiner) schools world-wide from Grade 1 (6 years old). I own two of these and have used them to give lessons to each of my three children.Easier to reach satisfying results with than most instruments (Mary had a little lamb, Jingle Bells, Old MacDonald, etc.), it serves as a gateway to developing interest in learning to play other instruments (in my case one daughter to cello at age 8, another to violin at age 5) and as a means of understanding essential musical fundamentals like scales, octaves, phrasing and melody due to its transparent operation and connection to one's breathing. Used in conjunction with singing practice it helps to train the voice by providing the student's ear with feedback that is always "in key."Also useful in science instruction to illustrate the relationship between length of vibration and pitch, and from there to demystify the mathematics that connect sound (and by extension radio & light waves) to harmonics, interference waves and carrier signals in radio and telecommunications.If you don't have access to a teacher for your kid buy two and teach yourself using YouTube and other abundant Internet resources, then teach your child what you've learned. Eventually they will learn your research process too and then take that over -- soon surpassing you and mastering a key "learning how to learn" skill that will serve them for everything else they ever become interested in. A great parent-child quality time project for the involved parent.

What the school asks for

Wonderful recorder. Looks like the recorder that the music teacher had available for purchase at the beginning of the year. I needed to purchase a replacement. Plays well. Great for kids that are learning to play.

Great for first time 4th grader, sounds great for a recorder lol, perfect for kids

Perfect for my son he loves it. Great quality and durable plastic. The carrying bag is thicker material and great quality. Even my 9 year old would have a tough time destroying this thing.

My daughter loves it..good piece to have at this price. Nice Build quality and sound quality

Mio figlio l ha usata per musica scuole medie ed è andata benissimo

The music teacher at my daughter's elementary school requested we purchase a recorder but did not provide any advice on brand or model. We purchased this recorder based on the reviews we read and we're very happy we did. The sound is crisp and clear, listeners can easily distinguish the different notes being played, and the price was very reasonable for the quality. Turns out with the exception of one student, everyone in her class had the same recorder! I recommend this recorder to any parent looking for one for their child's music class. If this is not the "industry standard" for elementary school music classes, it should be.

YAMAHA very good brand I loved it so strong and solid
