0119R Adris Dream Soprano : Good quality and fun to play

I purchased this recorder because I wanted to explore the sound of Renaissance-style instruments. A number of sources had mentioned the significant difference in timbre between this and normal baroque-style recorders. However, this difference is very subtle and mostly manifests as SLIGHTLY less "edge" to the start of a tongued note. I can't knock stars off for that because the sound itself is very good, and it plays well and in tune. I have to play carefully to sound the very highest notes well but that's more about my skill as a player! The design of it makes it a little trickier to hold than some, and the larger holes take a little getting used to, but it's very enjoyable to play and seems well-made. I like that it has a bright and different colour scheme, which is less common in quality plastic instruments. I think that now I have this, I will not need to purchase a new plastic baroque style soprano, as I had been intending.
