Like the other 300-series Yamaha recorders, the Alto provides fantastic quality for the price

It's good quality though and super easy to tear apart and clean.

I've had a Yamaha recorder for near 20 years and the quality remains consistently good from then until now

Nice case, nice looking instrument but dicey sound wise.

It comes with a nice carry case, a tiny container of 'grease' to put on the joints and a cleaning tool to get to the spit inside

It comes with a cleaning rod, cream for the joints, a fairly nice carrying case that zips, and a small insert with a fingering chart

nothing more to say than what the title says... great instrument for a great price

This an excellent instrument, I'm surprised it only cost me $13

Nice instrument but the tones are not as true as some of my other recorders

Sure, there are the hundred-dollar wooden instruments that sound great, but you don't have to pay much at all to get a great instrument

This is an excellent and quality instrument at a great price

This little Yamaha is a nice step up at a reasonable price

It's a great deal for a cheap price!

Amazon sells the 200-series soprano at an even cheaper price, so I would start with that if you have no experience

The recorder sounded like there was an obstruction, but after inspecting, checking the joints, and cleaning a number of times, there were still problems.

It has a nice sound, not shrill like a child's recorder.

I have a cheap-o plastic child's recorder and needed something a little nicer to play with a choral group.

The sound is clear and soft and less harsh than the school recorder

I personally like the sound of this better than the YRS-312B.

This Japanese made recorder comes with a zipper case, a fingering chart, care instructions, a cleaning rod and a tin of lubricant.

It is great for practice as it needs a lot less care and maintainence then the wooden ones.it also comes with a very nice canvas bag, cleaning rod, and a small can of cork grease.

Low D is very difficult to get any sound.

My son loved it and he uses it for his school I would recommend this product.

Bought this for my daughter... showed up early and was perfect...great product for the price...

But if you already know the basics of recorder and want to improve your sound, then this is a good product for you.

My grand daughter is enjoying the little recorder very much

My daughter fell in love with the recorder during music class

My Daughter loves it, and it sounds much better than the others her school was selling.

It is a nice looking instrument and has a good feel while playing.

Like all of the 300 series, a wonderful looking, sounding and playing recorder.

I thought he'd be disappointed it wasn't brightly colored, but it has a nice look, comes with a case and comes apart for easy cleaning.

Very good baroque soprano recorder here, I can say after playing for fifteen years!

According to my 9 year old, this recorder is better than those of his classmates.

I purchased two of these recorders: one as a replacement for my daughter's inexpensive soprano recorder (which my 3 year-old son shattered while playing golf) and one to play when I travel

To my ear, in comparison to the less expensive Yamaha soprano recorders, the notes on this model are truer

This recorder compensates a bit better for some of my inadequacies (I'm still and may always be a beginner!).

If the lower notes were as easy to play as the notes at G and above I would recommend this instrument as an excellent practice and learning instrument would recommend and give it a 5 star rating.

I've enjoyed playing this recorder--it has a good sound and even the very lowest notes are easy to play

High notes are more accurate, and the lower register just plain sings

The notes only start becoming difficult in the third octave, but it's still a world's difference better from my old instrument
