    • We are very happy with our Sour Green Apple Recorder and are planning to even order a second one.
    • Great little recorder
    • This is a fun and inexpensive recorder with great intonation, vendor Brook Mays responded quickly with purchase request

    • Nice recorder
    • This recorder is... not as bad
    • To my ear, in comparison to more expensive Yamaha soprano recorders, and larger alto and tenor models, the low F on this one is just a tiny bit higher than it should be, another reason for the four stars, but hey, for the price!Before buying this model I asked a question here on Amazon about the colored translucent models, and was told by a consort player that these translucent ones are just as good as the ivory ones, and as I found, and say above, better than some
    • Wonderful little recorder.
    • I needed an instrument that sounded half decent, but I didn't want to spend a ton on a more expensive wooden recorder

    • Don't settle for less, no matter if you found a cheaper recorder, it will not sound as good as this one.

    • Cons, (which I only mention because I also bought a Yamaha YRS-302B Soprano Recorder, which cost about $15 more), this recorder, like all soprano recorders, tends to sound a bit like a whistle, while the the 30-series mentioned above, sounds slightly less like a whistle, more like an instrument
