The frequency of clogging is one aspect, but I find that the rate at which the recorder goes from sounding good to sounding weak and airy is worse.

Great sound

I've been playing an old wooden Schott soprano recorder for decades and love it but, like most soprano recorders, the high sound can be a bit shrill.

I don't play it professionally so, while I'd like a better sound, it's not crucial.

This is a very nice recorder and has a great sound

I think it is a good quality made recorder with a nice sound for being plastic - even though it is more comfortable than the other tenor recorders I have because it is about an inch shorter, I still find it difficult to reach the c and c sharp with my pinky

What I don't like about this particular tenor recorder is the sound

I've been playing an old wooden Schott soprano recorder for decades and love it but, like most soprano recorders, the high sound can be a bit shrill.

I bought the 211A because I have very small hands, and my hands start aching after a while when I play a normal tenor (wooden or plastic) with wider reaches and keys for the low C and C#. I also dislike the clicking sound those keys tend to make on a plastic tenor

The sound is amazing and the holes are easy to reach for me (medium handed woman).

I had such high hopes for the Yamaha and loved the sound and response, but I had to pass it on to a friend with larger hands and fingers

I like the sound in the middle part of the range; the instrument plays very easily there.

I have played a German-fingered Hohner wooden soprano (the cheap one) for over a year, and of course I like the sound of a wooden recorder better, but I had two problems with it: first, I could never really play C# and D# well enough because it doesn't have double-holes

Low D is better, though still a bit weak.
