When it arrived I fell in love with this very inexpensive instrument

i rate it a five star more than i can imagine definently my favorite instrument to play

Great value, my son has enjoyed this instrument a lot.

It has a bit more heft, looks more like a fancy adult instrument, and the finish on the finger holes (and every where else) are silky smooth to the touch

I now see the quality and effort made by these companies to provide a decent instrument that actually will sound good and is practical for recorder newbies

The instruments themselves play well.
