YRA-402 B Ecodear Alto : Good in concert

The recorder is not exactly what one would ecpect to use in contemporary jazz/pop situations, however, this recorder has not failed me in live contextes. Here Yamaha has provided a recorder that respects a sound quality worthy of being listened to, and which is applicable to many diverse situations.

It is used at home and on tour, and so far no complaints. a quality recorder... however i wish that this series would expand to the sopranino and tenor, I do not know who to contact to make this happen.

The style is more akin to a recorder made of lighter wood and ivory gothic recorder players beware !

But fo me to have a choice that is light in color but heavy in sound gives me hope for all future concerts.

I hope to meet with the factory and discuss the potential of this agreeable instrument.

Good for folks that are into alto, on a budget

or on tour in a multi-intstrumental configuration
