Customer Rating:
Summary: Better than others
Comment: This ones is a little better than the loud plastic ones, but I guess I'm just not a recorder person, It still sounds like a toy to me. Maybe the very expensive ones would sound a little more rich, but I don't think I wanna play that bad. I'll just stick with the metal flutes for now.

Summary: Better sound than my wooden recorder.
Comment: I own a wooden soprano recorder, but I never play it anymore - I'm always playing this one. It has a very nice, warm sound. The price is a little high - if you're just starting to learn the recorder, buy a cheaper student model. But if you already know the basics of recorder and want to improve your sound, then this is a good product for you.

Summary: Is it really worth the money
Comment: You'll likely find that any of the Yamaha plastic recorders are great instruments. If you need something top quality, go to a wood instrument. Otherwise, stick with the less expense models.

Maybe buy the Soprano and Alto less expensive models for the price of this one and give one to a friend and play duets. Then the fun really starts.

Summary: Very very nice. Baroque, not German (and why this matters)
Comment: 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.
My goal was to find an inexpensive, easy-to-care-for recorder with a softer sound than the typical shrieking whistle sold to school children.

I have not been disappointed--the Yahama Soprano recorder has a wonderful warm sound and is very comfortable to play.

A note for parents: This recorder uses Baroque, not German fingering. This means that it is may not a good pre-band instrument, as most band woodwinds (and most recorders for school-age children) use German fingering. For example, on a Flutophone (German fingering), you play F by covering all of the holes on the left hand and only the top hole with the right hand. In Baroque fingering, you play F by covering the first, third and fourth holes on the right hand. It is a bit more challenging to play legato, since you have to cover/uncover multiple holes simultaneously.

Also, some recorders for children (such as the Flutophone) have lipped holes, which seem to make it easier for the child to completely cover the hole. The holes on this recorder are not lipped.
