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.

No joints to tune or grease, and nothing to loosen. You also can't adjust pitch by pulling the head out.
Detail 03
Soprano (descant)
Pitched in C, the standard classroom size. Written notes sound an octave higher than printed.
Detail 04
Plastic construction
Unaffected by humidity, playable immediately, washable. Tone is brighter and thinner than wood.
Detail 05
Translucent purple
Easy to tell apart in a bin of identical school instruments. You can see moisture building inside.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your method book uses Baroque, not German, fingering
- 02Blow gently — hard breath pushes a recorder sharp and shrill
- 03At this price, treat it as consumable rather than repairable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Baroque or German fingering?
Baroque. F and B-flat need cross-fingerings rather than the simplified German fingerings. Check the chart in your method book before ordering for a class.
02Can I take it apart to clean it?
No. It is one piece. Swab the bore with a thin cloth on a rod, or rinse and dry it thoroughly.
03Is this the size schools use?
Yes. Soprano, also called descant, is the standard classroom recorder pitched in C.
04Does it come apart to tune?
No. There is no adjustable joint, so tuning comes from breath control and fingering rather than pulling out the head.
