Thomann TRA-21G Alto Recorder Reviews

Records well!

Amazing smoky tone right out of the bat, plastic is easier to play if you're new, records well!

Perfect for Comparisons

Want to compare a genuinely plastic (not resin) recorder to resin or wood or Ecodear?

Want to explore the strengths and weakness of the German and Baroque fingering systems?

Then this is the instrument for you.

Cheap and cheerful alto

Edges are a bit rough, but it's basically a working instrument for trying out alto playing as far as I can tell. Second octave does get hard above F or so. Don't know if that's me or the flute as I don't have other altos and am a complete beginner with this instrument.

Experience

I was comparing, and german system seems more open. With lots of air if necessary. To play folklore songs it seems nice. I’m using both alto and soprano, with the bamboo kids.

Good quality product

Good to work with it and for beginners I think is a good choice!
