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.

I played sax for from elementary school through late college. I was a decent, albeit nothing special, musician. I do have experience with instruments and specifically, woodwinds. This recorder is not a Selmer. However, especially for the price, it is a solid little instrument. My 6 year old daughter really wanted to learn an instrument, any instrument, and my wife got her a super cheap recorder-like instrument at the dollar store. That was horrible but just a dollar. This cost 6 times more but is easily 25 times better. It is 'just a recorder' but it is a real instrument, a type of flute, has a real history, and there is technique to the thing that could make one skilled at this instrument or similar woodwinds in the future (e.g., sax, clarinet, flute). Also a lot easier for my kid to take around and practice on, still learn how to read music, and accommodates her hand size better than a bigger instrument like a piano. In addition to playing, we're having some good together time, and she's learning some rhythm and how to read music. This thing fits my daughter's hands well, and she has taken to it and even diligently practices it. She is already picking up a few songs and could play a song after our first 'lesson'. It even sounds better than I was expected. Sure, a plastic soprano recorder isn't that far off from a shrill whistle with holes, especially if you just blow on the thing. But being gentle with your breath, proper technique with your tongue (I know how that sounds), and it doesn't sound that bad. The youtube recorder lesson number 1 by Mr. Hines covers this. It isn't hard. I haven't played sax in years but have been enjoying picking this up with my kid. Very pleased, especially for the price. Note that the recorder pulls apart into three pieces for cleaning (but has no rod but not a big deal). It comes in a little cloth sack of decent quality which is sufficient to establish a habit of treating an instrument with respect and putting it away when done...but isn't a hard or soft case in any sense. This said, this thing seems pretty durable. I wouldn't use it as a hammer, but occassional drops or piling stuff on top of it isn't going to damage it. Well done.

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!

My son loves this thing. We bought it for practice and he is a recorder pro!

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.

Great price and high quality. Exactly what you would expect from Yamaha.

I love the tone of this instrument and it is very fun to play and right now. I am trying to learn how to drain your dragon and I only had it for an hour.

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.

Good product I like it so much

This is the specific recorder that was required for my child's booklist, the "soprano" type, and I couldn't find it in local stores so I was stoked to find it on Amazon. Excellent quality, as you'd expect from Yamaha, and a nice storage pouch.
