Yamaha YRS302BIII Soprano Recorder

We bought the Yamaha YRS302BIII soprano recorder for our five-year-old after she kept saying she wanted to learn the flute. It has proved to be a sensible (and affordable) place to start. The quality is excellent - it feels solid, well finished and exactly what you’d expect from Yamaha, even at this entry level. The recorder looks great and comes with a cleaning rod and storage case. These are thoughtful additions which make it easy to look after between practice sessions. It’s light and comfortable for small hands, and the finger holes are well positioned, making it manageable for younger children who are just starting out. As you’d expect, there’s still plenty of practice needed - and that does mean the occasional bout of enthusiastic but squeaky 'music' filling the house - but she genuinely enjoys playing it, which is the most important thing. It feels like a proper instrument rather than a toy, which helps keep her engaged and taking it seriously. A great-quality starter recorder that’s well suited to younger children and school-age beginners, and a much better first step than jumping straight into more complex instruments.

Great feel, great quality, nice and compact with protective case.

I bought a YRS-302B as a step up from my beginners Yamaha 24B and I am amazed at the quality and the sound of the 302B. I love playing it and the quality and feel is outstanding for a resin recorder. I know people rave over wooden recorders but I prefer to play the 302B over my Moeck wooden recorder which was over £100. Along with the recorder you get a full length case so you can leave the recorder assembled, some recorder cream, cleaning rod and leaflet. I find the recorder cream really helps with the sound as you obviously get a good join on each section. Anyone moving on from a beginner should get one of these.

This is a nice sounding recorder. It is easy to overblow so you have to be careful about that. Like any recorder it sounds better in a warm room and cloggs after about 10 to 15 minutes (the same as my resin Aulos) in a cooler room. I alternated playing it with my Aulos and my wooden Mollenhauer to compare. I was surprised that I still liked the sound when playing my medieval pieces. I bought it as I like to play for a long time in one session so needed another descant to swap when my wooden Mollenhauer has had enough or my Aulos is getting clogged.

Much better quality to similar brands. Sound is nice

Great quality as you would expect from Yamaha. Comes with a protective case which is made of a thick material so expect it to last. Little more expensive than the others but when comparing to what other children have I’m glad I paid the extra as the plastic is thicker and better material than others.

My 6 year old has started recorder lessons in school, an my mrs purchased a cheap one from the toy store and sounded screechy and annoying. I decided to order this, It’s one of those you get what you pay for. The sound is better and the build and feel Is if quality. It came with a Yamaha cover and a cleaning kit as well.

I was expecting a "warmer" sound but overall it does the job. It comes with a nice case though.

Es la mejor flauta dulce de plástico que he podido probar. Su sonido es mucho mejor que el de otras flautas de plástico (e incluso algunas de madera) más baratas. Lo que sí hay que tener en cuenta, es que debido a su construcción al principio puede ser algo más difícil obtener un sonido "limpio", pero después de algo de práctica se agradece la calidad. Muchos músicos profesionales usan flautas dulces de la serie "300" de Yamaha como sus segundas flautas para practicar con tranquilidad (en caso de flautas de madera el tiempo de tocarlas suele ser limitado, no se pueden usar durante mucho rato). La flauta viene con un estuche (una bolsa de tela de algodón) muy cómodo para guardarla y poder llevarla a todos lados, y además con un botecito de crema para poner en la unión entre las tres partes de la flauta, un palillo para limpiarla y una hoja con instrucciones. Como todas las flautas de plástico suele congestionarse un poco por la humedad provocada por el aire soplado, cada x minutos/cuartos de hora hay que sacudirla para sacar el exceso de agua de su interior y poder seguir tocando con placer - esto no se considera un defecto, es algo normal en estas flautas. Este fenómeno se nota más cuando en la habitación hace frío. Resumiendo, una flauta muy buena, con el sonido sorprendentemente agradable teniendo en cuenta que es una flauta de plástico.

Perfekt som första flöjt till en 10åring

Super flûte à bec Yamaha – un vrai plaisir à jouer ! J’ai acheté la Yamaha YRS302BIII – Flûte à bec soprano en résine récemment et j’en suis vraiment très content.
