Music Recorder Instrument,Beginner Adult GermanBaroque Alto Recorder, 8-Hole Wooden Professional Playing Flute Instrument, Storage Bag + Cleaning Stick + Lanyard, Primary Color

At this price point, you know you aren't getting a top quality instrument. The shock is that you aren't setting yourself up for frustration either. It's a baroque style recorder (which is good) not German. The lowest note if F. The one I received is pretty much in tune and plays clearly. It is actually more forgiving than average.Mine didn't come with a lanyard but I wouldn't use one anyway. The instruction book is a chart of the fingerings with notes on a staff. It's pretty much what is typically included with recorders. Look online if you need more instruction.If, for some reason, you have the budget for a plastic instrument but you really want to play on a wood instrument, this is a satisfying choice. I am enjoying my purchase.

This recorder sounds beautiful. It's a fantastic deal. The windway is straight, the instrument sturdy and well made, the maple wood has a nice pattern and smooth finish. The low F/F# is strong. This recorder is great for playing early, medieval and Renaissance music. The windway is straight. It hits the high notes nicely. Overall, I am very impressed by this recorder, and it's a nice addition to my more expensive Yamaha and Möeck recorders. I see the price going up. Just buy it, it's lovely, and the price still can't be beat for what it is.

I did not receive the lanyard.If possible, please send it.

Very well made and beautiful.

This is a lovely instrument very well made. The maple is smooth and it has a rich tone. I am relearning recorder and am delighted this was available. It’s made in China and they have been making musical instruments for centuries so I had no doubt this would be excellent and it is. The low F is a very full sound. Update , I should not be surprised but I just wanted to say the sound gets better and better as I play it. It is really a lovely instrument and sounds very good in ensemble.

This maple recorder sounds good, and is very affordable. It has a straight (rather than arched or curved) windward.This is a great starter instrument for the beginning or student alto recorder player, as long as you take proper care of it, especially with regards to handling moisture in the instrument after playing it.

I bought an Eastar wooden recorder a few years back, and was disappointed it was pretty badly out of tune. So I knew I was taking a chance with another budget wooden recorder. Either I got lucky, or these guys have great QC. The recorder I received was in excellent tune, and immediately felt like an upgrade over my Yamaha plastic.

It's a beautiful, wooden recorder that works well
