What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
One-piece body
No joints to assemble or grease, and nothing to lose. You also cannot pull a joint out to tune.
Detail 03
Soprano range
Pitched in C, the size nearly all school programs and beginner books are written for.
Detail 04
Translucent blue plastic
Plastic ignores humidity and needs no break-in period. It also stays bright and thin next to a wood recorder.
Detail 05
Under $4
Expect basic tuning and voicing. Cheap enough that a lost instrument is not a problem.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your school wants Baroque, not German, fingering before ordering.
- 02No case, bag, or cleaning rod included.
- 03One-piece design means no joint tuning, so pitch is fixed.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this Baroque or German fingering?
Baroque. That is the fingering system most school method books and teachers use.
02Can I take it apart to clean it?
No. It is a single piece. Rinse and air-dry it, or swab through the bore with a soft cloth on a thin rod.
03Is it in the key of C?
Yes. Soprano recorders are pitched in C, which is what beginner books and classroom programs are written for.
04Will the plastic sound worse than wood?
It sounds brighter and less complex than wood. For classroom learning that is a fair trade, and plastic is unaffected by humidity.
