This recorder brings me back to my childhood when in my music class we used to get a Yamaha recorder for our practices. Price was very reasonable and the quality is better than other brands. Well made, does not feel like a cheap plastic compared to others. Nice beige color.

My kid needed this for school and this was the one that was recommended. It is very well-made and I think my kid has dropped it a couple times and it’s perfectly fine. Play as well as well.

Exactly what we were looking for in school. Comes with easy instructions and works fine. I like that it had a case to store in.

I remember using this same type of recorder as a kid in the 7th grade and was exited to get this for my son's music class. Its the standard off white color. The quality is great as the material is sturdy. However i dont feel like the size of the holes are pratical because neither my son or myself can get them to cover properly and i dont feel like we can ever get the bottom bit to properly allign with the entire recorder. I feel like this interfere with the performance. However its a great starting point for him to learn music

My grandson's teacher said this was the best for a beginner, I was surprised at the high quality for the price.
My son loves it. The only thing I want to address is that the cards are very flimsy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A keystone building block for early musical learning
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2015
Unlike typical souvenir-style or even hand-made flutes, Recorders are made with precise tunings such that the finger pattern for each note is standard from one flute to another, making them suitable for group playing, learning to read sheet music and so on. Recorders are proper members of the woodwind group of instruments used in orchestral and chamber music. In this respect it is much more than a toy.

This very inexpensive and nearly indestructible plastic knock-off of the traditional soprano 'recorder' wooden flute is the entry level medium for music instruction in Waldorf (aka Rudolf Steiner) schools world-wide from Grade 1 (6 years old). I own two of these and have used them to give lessons to each of my three children.

Easier to reach satisfying results with than most instruments (Mary had a little lamb, Jingle Bells, Old MacDonald, etc.), it serves as a gateway to developing interest in learning to play other instruments (in my case one daughter to cello at age 8, another to violin at age 5) and as a means of understanding essential musical fundamentals like scales, octaves, phrasing and melody due to its transparent operation and connection to one's breathing. Used in conjunction with singing practice it helps to train the voice by providing the student's ear with feedback that is always "in key."

Also useful in science instruction to illustrate the relationship between length of vibration and pitch, and from there to demystify the mathematics that connect sound (and by extension radio & light waves) to harmonics, interference waves and carrier signals in radio and telecommunications.

If you don't have access to a teacher for your kid buy two and teach yourself using YouTube and other abundant Internet resources, then teach your child what you've learned. Eventually they will learn your research process too and then take that over -- soon surpassing you and mastering a key "learning how to learn" skill that will serve them for everything else they ever become interested in. A great parent-child quality time project for the involved parent.

I ordered these for my grandson, who is in 4th grade, and learning to play the recorder is part of the music curriculum. The extra ones were distributed, by the music teacher, to students who were not able to purchase their own.
