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 01

Baroque fingering

The F and B-flat fingerings match most school method books and standard recorder repertoire.

Detail 02

Soprano size

Pitched in C, the standard classroom size, and small enough for a child's hands.

Detail 03

Translucent plastic body

Washable and tough enough for a backpack. Wood would sound warmer but needs careful breaking in.

Detail 04

Blue translucent finish

Easy to tell apart in a class where every instrument otherwise looks identical.

Detail 05

Yamaha YRS-20

Yamaha's entry classroom model, the one most school programs specify by name.
