Review: An affordable gem - professional quality at student prices - in simulated Rosewood finish - [Note: Picture shown does not reflect the true colour of the YRS-312B which is a rich warm reddish brown colour.] This recorder uses the Baroque (not German) Fingering convention widely used in most countries esp the commonwealth. +: Produces beautiful warm sonorous tones ... reliable intonation and highly responsive - a joy to play ++ much more. Easy to maintain - washable. Durable. High standards of manufacture guarantee consistent homogeneous quality between each instrument - you can be confident what you are purchasing. Selection becomes a non issue. Losses can be replaced by simply purchasing another one and you will know that you will be purchasing similar performance capability. Professional quality made affordable to the masses. -: Does clog somewhat after extended play but the instrument can be prepped beforehand with anti-clog solution available from recorder specialist. This was provided to me when I purchased the YRT 304B but I haven't used it yet. I am very happy with my purchase of the Yamaha YRS, YRA 314B and 316B (yes I purchased all four) which I think is at par with branded wooden recorders 6-10 times the price. A great second instrument or spare for travelling. I can personally attest that it is true that the simulated woodgrain finish versions YRS 314 & 316 (strangely enough) produce a superior tone to the normal ABS resin finish 302 model - perhaps this is due to the outer coating that resonates better. For not a lot more, the simulated wood-grain version IS well-worth paying for. YRS 312B in simulated Rosewood has a rich warm reddish brown colour whilst YRS 314B in simulated Ebony is a quieter yellow brown - both with attractive printed woodgrain finish. Yamaha did a real service to the world by making this attractive gem so affordable.
Review: Extremely pleased - Yamaha is such a reliable brand! I am a new player and I decided to order a soprano recorder that was budget friendly, but I admit I was nervous about it. It definitely *can* sound bad if I blow too hard or if my hands aren't positioned right, as would any recorder, but it sounds so sweet and wonderful when I get everything right. It feels and looks like a quality instrument even though it's plastic. The color is very pretty. I'm in love with it already. What a wonderful recorder to start my journey with.
