Review: Delightful to play, delightful to hold, looks good, excellent travel case - I'm an amateur musician, and don't have much to compare this recorder to, so I can't vouch that if you're a professional, you'll like it as much as I have, but I like it a lot. I've been playing penny whistle for fun. After getting this recorder and learning how to use it, I now find penny whistle frustratingly limiting. The range of music you can play on recorder vs penny whistle is vastly higher. All those sharps and flats, easy to reach. Play in a very large number of keys, easily, vs penny whistle typically gives you maybe two keys easily. This particular recorder feels very solid and well made. I like the weight of it. I never notice it being too heavy nor too light as I play it - I don't even think of its weight as I play it - I simply naturally find myself enjoying the feel of it in my hands. I very much enjoy the sound quality in the upper two thirds or so of the lower octave, and find the sound quality in the lower two thirds of the upper octave very pleasant (but the upper portion of the lower octave is the most beautiful to my ear). Lowest notes are limiting, at least for me: It might be a fault with me as the player, or with me not having bothered to apply the lubricating grease that came with it, or perhaps somehow due to me never formally cleaning the instrument (although I look inside it from time to time, and it looks clean), but for some reason, I find the lowest notes difficult to play with pleasant tone at volume. I can play them very quietly with pleasant tone most of the time. But I was expecting rich, clear, reverberating lowest notes at decent volume, instead of very quiet to get decent tone. Again, the recorder might be well capable of it and me be at fault for this - I don't know. I greatly enjoy playing this instrument, and have come to a deep appreciation of the recorder as a technology. The different ways you can finger to get the same note, allowing selection of most appropriate fingering for whatever note you're going to play next (or you've just played). (Contrast the penny whistle.) The clean, clear sounds (contrast the distinctive penny whistle breath-y tone, which has its own charm, but it's nice to be able to play something _without_ that breath-iness). The almost effortless production of notes and tunes that I enjoy playing and hearing myself play. Also, I love how wonderfully well this comes packaged. There is a case (a good one), and end caps, that allow the recorder to be broken down to approx half its length for travel or storage, and protected very well while doing so. Most of the time, the recorder sits on one of my desks, and I pick it up often a dozen or more times in a day and enjoy tooting out a little tune for a minute or a few. But when I travel, I can take it with me, without its assembled length being a problem.
Review: The Perfect Upgrade from the Yamaha Soprano - If you already have the Yamaha Soprano recorder and are having fun with that, I highly recommend getting its big brother the Yamaha YRA-28B Alto Recorder. It has a more stable and less shrill tonality to it. It's obviously not going to sound as nice as a higher end wooden Recorder, but it's definitely not bad or annoying sounding like some even cheaper recorders I've heard sound. The transition from the soprano to this alto is pretty easy and straight forward. One only has to get used to the finger tone holes being further apart. The fingering chart seems nearly identical so that makes it easy to play all your favorite tunes on this one straight away. I'm not trained in recorder playing and mostly forgot how to read sheet music (though I'm working on it). I was Sax and bassoon player many years ago and wanted something to that I could pick up and play relatively easily and the recorder is perfect for that. As I play it now, I mostly just improvise little tunes like the one I uploaded. It's a great way to relax while also expressing oneself musically. Even if you're unsure if you will like playing the alto its, this Yamaha's low cost makes it worth it to at least try.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I played one, and the holes are extremely far apart. Is this true of all alto recorders, regardless of the material used to make one?**
A: There is nothing unusual about the hole placement on this alto.  I have played several and they are all about the same.  I also play the tenor which is difficult to pick up and play if I haven't warmed up a bit first.  Want some fun?  Yamaha also makes a sopranino and it is SMALLER than the normal soprano recorder.  It reads the same notation as the alto.

**Q: Does the alto recorder come in the key of c**
A: You want a Soprano or Tenor to get the key of C.

**Q: Does the alto recorder come in the key of c**
A: Sorry, ALL Alto recorders are in the key of F.  The Tenor model is in F.  The full range looks like this:Sopranino - FSoprano - CAlto - FTenor - CBass - F

**Q: I am debating between this "beginner" alto and one in the 300 series. I am an adult beginner. The 300's seem to be 2 inches longer. Does that matter?**
A: It will matter.  You will need to spread you fingers apart more on the longer instrument.  It may have a better tone and be worth it.  Up to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased!
*by >***< on April 5, 2018*

I already have the Yamaha Alto in the wood grain and the Ecodear. They both have the curved windway. I can feel a good bit of air resistance when playing. So, I read that starting with the straight windway is easier. So, I ordered this recorder. First, this is not some cheapy, thin plastic recorder. This recorder is made from the same stuff the more expensive Yamaha plastic recorders are made from (not including the Ecodear). It is heavy plastic - very solid. This is not a child's toy. This is a quality instrument. It is top notch construction just like the others. It looks much better than the picture, too. It is not white - it is a cream color. Very nice looking. In fact, I like the looks of it better than the brown. It comes in a nice blue bag with a fingering chart, a cleaning rod, and some recorder grease. Don't throw the plastic covers and joiners away! Use them when you dismantle the recorder and put it back in its bag. I do notice less air resistance in this one compared to the others. That is good. It is what I was looking for. As to reach, it is a little hard for my small hands (no different from the other Yamahas, though). The third hole from the top is offset ever so slightly and that is good. My problem is reaching the bottom holes with the right hand. The foot of the recorder can be turned and that helps. It also helps not the have a death grip on the recorder and I will relax some soon! I also think the more I play the easier my reach with be as my hands adjust. I am very pleased with the recorder!
