5.0 out of 5 stars Actually pretty good..., 3 Oct 2009

JazzUK "Roger Thomas" (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yamaha YRS24BUKII Descant recorder (Electronics)

Fairly bright, hard sound as is usual with plastic instruments, but responds well when warmed up and is surprisingly forgiving of less-than-perfect breath pressure, which will encourage learners. Very cheap for a Yamaha branded instrument, too. I'd happily recommend this for both children and adult beginners (the latter will note that its dark brown colour looks quite dignified!).

My grandson told me he was to learn to play a recorder and he did not like the ones at school. So, I logged onto Amazon and found just what I needed and bought him this recorder. He is now doing very well with it and is very proud of his 'own' instrument

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely recorder, good value, 31 Mar 2010

DM (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yamaha YRS24BUKII Descant recorder (Electronics)

I bought this recorder for my 7 year old's recorder lessons and she really loves it. She was very specific about not wanting a see-through one as you can see the spit inside it (yuk!).
It is very resilient as her 2 year old sister has thrown it around and it still sounds and looks fine.
