User questions & answers

Question:	What material are the made of

Question:	Is the tenor one key or two? Is the alto and soprano double hole on the bottom or also bottom and the one above
Answer:	Comes with 1pcs portable saxophone, 4pcs reeds + 1 plastic reed, 8pcs Sax dental pads , 1pcs carrying bag, 1pcs Fingering Charts.
Question:	Does this come with a hard or soft case
Answer:	I am using it in a big band and I am very satisfied with the sound and feel of the instrument. I did upgrade to the Ammoon metal mp #7. I have played alto off and on for over 50 years and have played vintage horns. I take this over everything i have tried so far. I don't understand why people keep referring this to a student or beginner sax. I am 70 and I am playing it professionally.
Question:	What material are the recorders made of? (i.e. wood or plastic

Product description

ABS recorders are durable and easy to care for while providing a tone similar to that of natural wood. Though other maker's plastic recorders may have a similar appearance, Yamaha ABS recorders are truly superior instruments. They offer an ideal amount of air resistance for easy control, and feature an accuracy of intonation you would expect to find only on more expensive models. The 20 Series models are easy to play throughout their ranges and are primarily intended for beginners.

This inexpensive 13-inch recorder has surprisingly good sound quality. The cream-colored, plastic instrument easily disassembles into three parts and comes with a canvas carrying bag, simple instructions, and a fingering sheet. --Richard Farr

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	The instrument is made in Indonesia and the little carrying bag case is made in India. Yamaha is a very durable brand.
Question:	the description states it is made in the US, but what does the packaging say
Answer:	made in Indonesia
Question:	does it come with case
Answer:	It comes with a cloth draw string bag.
Question:	has anyone compared this with the Yamaha YRS24B series ivory-colored models? Is this exactly the same, or different in feel and tone
Answer:	I teach a recorder class for high school students and we have about 20 models of the ivory recorders and about 15 of the colorful 20BG recorders. For whatever reason, the coloful models do seem to speak a little bit more easily, but both set the bar fairly high for plastic recorders-- way better than any of the other models we've purchased, including the more expensive brown and beige 302B Yamaha model (which looks great, but is quiet and does not hit the low notes as easily as this model.)

Start with great sound

Yamaha has been building musical instruments for more than 130 years, so we know what it takes to make a great sound. Our 20-series models produce a classic recorder tone that's pure and in tune across the whole instrument.

Easy for beginners

20-series recorders make it easy to play right from the start. The rectangular airway gives very little resistance, so even a light breath can make a clear note. A great choice for classrooms or beginners of any age!

Durable and safe

Made from the same kind of plastic used in countless popular toys, Yamaha 20-series recorders are built to last for years of reliable use. They can even be washed with soap and water, so keeping them clean is easy.

Colorful choices

Our see-through blue, green and pink models are playful, but produce the same great sound as our standard ivory colored models. Have fun with your music without sacrificing your tone.

Baroque vs German fingering - what's the difference?

The basic design of recorders was developed hundreds of years ago during the Baroque music period of the 1600's and early 1700's. This classical style is still preferred by many music teachers and schools, mostly because some specific notes play a little better in tune with this design.

In the 1920's, instrument designers in Germany felt that the standard Baroque recorder was too difficult for beginners to learn, since some notes put the player’s fingers in positions that can feel uncomfortable. Because of this, they made a small change to make those notes easier for a beginner to play. However, there's a trade-off – while the finger positions are easier, those same notes are harder to play in tune.

You can tell which version you have by looking at the 4th and 5th holes down from the top. If the 4th hole is smaller than the 5th, it's Baroque. If the 4th hole is larger, it's German. If you need a recorder to use in school, check with your teacher to make sure you get the right type!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a recorder for beginners
Answer:	Not sure what the plug size is or what it is called but it is slightly larger than the Standard Mini-USB plug. I had to order this cored when updating my Logitech Harmony One as the Standard Mini-USB plug was too small. I have a newer Logitech Remote and it uses the Standard Mini-USB plug. Hope this will help.
Question:	The price is really a bargain. How's the quality
Answer:	They are made out of plastic.
Question:	how do I know if the recorder is baroque
Answer:	The double holes on the Alto and soprano recorders are bottom and one above. The tenor has two keys (one for low C the other for low C#) if I read this correctly. I hope this helps!
Question:	Yamaha or Eastar
Answer:	Each instrument is in its own soft case.

User questions & answers

Question:	Mine does not come apart into three pieces. only the bottom part is removable. is this a "dud"? should i send it back for replacementm
Answer:	Well, if this is the model you actually bought, it says it's in 3 pieces. Saje is right; the joints can be very tight sometimes. Try twisting the headpiece clockwise and the middle section counter-clockwise, slowly increasing the pressure. If you're doing it as hard as you can and still feel no "give," consider it a 2-piece. No big deal really, if it plays okay otherwise. The cleaning rod should be able to reach the whole interior, and you want the windway and the fingerholes to stay lined up anyway. It's more important that the footpiece be able to twist, so that you can set it to best fit your little finger.
Question:	Is this recorder BPA free
Answer:	Dear Customer, Yes, it is BPA free and the ABS material is Eco-Friendly. Hope this helps. Best regards Eastar Customer Service Team
Question:	The bag looks real good. Durable
Answer:	Yes very strong won’t rip so easily
Question:	How to use the joint grease
Answer:	Rub it on the joint and it's done.
