Summary: Wonderful for a plastic recorder
Comment: As has been pointed out by the other reviewers, this is just short of a professional instrument. No, Bernard Krainis would not play this instrument, but then, Julian Bream would not play a Fender guitar, either. For the price and what it is, this is a very nice little instrument, though. It is superior to the somewhat cheaper versions of Yamaha plastic sopranino recorder, the YRN-22B, in that this has a somewhat mellower sound. Let's face it, though, sopranino recorder is somewhat shrill, even if it's a $400 version. For the money, you can't beat this little instrument. If you want a professional version, then spend the money on a cherry wood sopranino or buy one in a $500 set. For what is it, this is a sweet instrument.

Summary: Sopranino Recorder
Comment: This was a nice instrument that I needed in a hurry for a concert. It did require a little overblowing to hit some of the notes, but I managed to make it work. It was a nice sound for a "plastic" and a "Sopranino". It did the trick for the short notice that I had.

Summary: Excellent plastic recorder
Comment: The reviewer who complained about the pitch of this instrument is a little like the guy who complains about service at Denny's. If you want a real "professional" sopranino get a Moeck. Otherwise this little Yamaha is fine, with decent pitch and very loud. Great for covering fife and piccolo parts. There's also some very beautiful music by Vivaldi written especially for the instrument.

Summary: Very good for the price
Comment: I have the Soprano and Alto recorders in the Yamaha 300 series and this is another great instrument. Forget what the above comment says. The sound is clear and lovely. I advise you to buy it. It's worth the money.

Summary: A bit disappointed
Comment: I have both the Alto and Soprano 300-series recorders, and have been very pleased with them. I was less pleased with the Sopranino. It just doesn't seem to have the quality that the others do. The fingering holes feel a bit rougher and the sound is not as smooth. This is not a terrible instrument, but definitely not that great, either.
