This recorder is an excellent musical instrument. It has a beautiful sound. It comes excellently packaged with a case to hold it. It is better than the picture. I highly recommend this for beginners and seasoned musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars An affordable gem - professional quality at student prices - in simulated Rosewood finish
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011
[Note: Picture shown does not reflect the true colour of the YRS-312B which is a rich warm reddish brown colour.]
This recorder uses the Baroque (not German) Fingering convention widely used in most countries esp the commonwealth.

+: Produces beautiful warm sonorous tones ... reliable intonation and highly responsive - a joy to play ++ much more.
Easy to maintain - washable. Durable. High standards of manufacture guarantee consistent homogeneous quality between each instrument - you can be confident what
you are purchasing. Selection becomes a non issue. Losses can be replaced by simply purchasing another one and you will know that you will be purchasing similar
performance capability. Professional quality made affordable to the masses.

-: Does clog somewhat after extended play but the instrument can be prepped beforehand with anti-clog solution available from recorder specialist. This was provided
to me when I purchased the YRT 304B but I haven't used it yet.

I am very happy with my purchase of the Yamaha YRS, YRA 314B and 316B (yes I purchased all four) which I think is at par with branded wooden recorders 6-10 times the price. A great second instrument or spare for travelling.

I can personally attest that it is true that the simulated woodgrain finish versions YRS 314 & 316 (strangely enough) produce a superior tone to the normal ABS resin finish 302 model - perhaps this is due to the outer coating that resonates better. For not a lot more, the simulated wood-grain version IS well-worth paying for.

YRS 312B in simulated Rosewood has a rich warm reddish brown colour whilst YRS 314B in simulated Ebony is a quieter yellow brown - both with attractive printed woodgrain finish.

Yamaha did a real service to the world by making this attractive gem so affordable.

Plays like a recorder, with a bit of the illusion of high quality. While it’s still made of plastic, it feels nice to touch and the tone is as expected from a Yamaha soprano recorder.

This has a lovely tone and looks very nice for the price! I could wish the instructions weren't just in Japanese, but I figured it out. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Ensemble Playing, Excellent Value
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013
Very playable recorder even at the highest end of the range. The tone is very nice -- not as mellow as wood but not sharp either. This is an important advantage over the slightly cheaper Yamaha recorders. I highly recommend it for ensemble playing, particularly because the tuning over the entire range is extremely consistent. It is excellent value for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recorder not too expensive
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023
Yamaha soprano recorders are excellent value for the money. Baroque fingering, A440, so you can play with any modern ensemble. Simulated rosewood is cute, but everyone knows it is plastic.???? You have to spend a lot of money to get a recorder that is significantly better sounding.
