Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Recorders
It is a good sounding instrument. It comes with a thumb rest which you will definitely have to use. I couldn't find the right spot for it so i had to do something else.This instrument is much heavier than a soprano so it will quickly slide off of your thumb making you miss the holes with your fingers. I saw a video on how to make a sling out of women's hair ties so i did that and am going to put some grip like sand paper or something on the back to keep it from slipping off of my thumb.

As a beginner its size is yes, overwhelming but the sound makes me keep playing, more like it challenged me to play better, if that makes sense - I did have to take a break every now and then to stretch my hands, fingers though... Love it! Ended up buying the Soprano and the Alto recorders.

I loved the rich deep sound it's great for out doors and for adult sized begginers. Or if you already play a soprano the fingering is the same. I think a good plastic recorder is always a great addition to your collection of instruments. Not recommended for small hands.

Yamaha makes a wonderful instrument in terms of tone and pitch for the money. I have the matched sopranino, soprano, alto, and not tenor recorders. Durable, sound great, and fit my budget.

This is a very nice recorder and a good value. However be cautioned you need long fingers. I play flute, violin, and cello but the reach is to difficult for me to really enjoy.
