Baroque Recorder 8 holes,Soprano C Key Recorder Made of Maple Wood with storage Case,Fingering Chart and Cleaning Rod for Kids and Adults Beginners

It was so nice to find a solid wooden recorder I chose the Baroque Recorder for my granddaughter who is learning to play at school. The finger placement is perfect for an adult or a child and it has a lovely tone when played.

Arrived well packed as is usually the case with Amazon. The recorder has a nice tone and the wood a lovely silky feel. Excellent quality for the price. It’s the rest that lets it down.It came without the joint grease . I thought briefly about sending it back, then realised I had played my wooden recorder in school for a number of years without ever taking it apart, so didn’t need joint grease for a £20 recorder. In my opinion, the box is a gimmick. A simple bag to hold the recorder in one piece would be perfectly adequate for an instrument in this price range. The plastic case is also not recycalable. We don’t need any more plastic cluttering up the environment. Especially when I’ve gone to the trouble of buying a wooden recorder.I’ve now played through the whole two octaves, having gradually played it in. The highest B and C need a bit more work to make them speak and I’ve yet to play the very highest note, a D, but I think that, over time they would become easier too.I only bought this as a stop gap as I haven’t played properly in 30+ years and I wanted to see how I got on before spending a lot of money. It’s definitely fit for the job.

Ideal instrument for a beginner. A maple wood baroque recorder is favoured as all subsequent wind instruments apparently use the baroque (English) finger pattern and not the German finger pattern.Otherwise it’s the equivalent of the 1966 England Team winning the World Cup, while wearing the German Team Strip! 😀

I liked the fact that this is a wooden recorder, beautifully made with a lovely tone.My six-year-old granddaughter has just started recorder lessons at school and I wanted her to have a wooden one as I did at school (and still have one now, albeit not the same one).

Like all wooden recorders needs breaking in for a few minutes a day for a week then slowly building up to an hour at most. This stops problems with moisture building up in the wood and causing a block in the mouthpiece. Like all wooden recorders it would not survive a drop on a hard floor. It is easy to play but early begginner classroom use would not be appropriate. The cleaning rod is essential and the hard case and recorder are well built. The neck strap is useful for a teacher. The recorder has a good clear tone. It would play well in an ensemble. Would be great if it came with Cork grease in order to help the connection between mouthpiece and body of the recorder.

The recorder is nicely packaged and played relatively well (usual problems on the high notes), but unfortunately after a few hours use it developed a large crack in the body section.I also noticed that the laquer has quite a strong odor and was starting to come off the mouthpiece.

Great recorder for the little ones. Good value for money as well.

Plays very well. Smooth design nice sounding. Although the casse is not great for opening may want take a look to re-design the locking system and opening

This instrument was for my 7 year old Granddaughter and she love it.

Je vois cette flûte à un prix nettement inférieur sur ce site .Mais je ne cherche pas à mégoter . Il est vrai que le son est très mélodieux et que l’on peut jouer avec encore .Le seul hic, c’est que pour monter dans les ut facilement, il faut que le bois travaille beaucoup.J’ai acheté cette flûte parce que c’est un instrument mélodieux et que j’len joue énormément.Mais pour les morceaux aigüe, , à partir de mi majeur, selon la météo, de l’air passe encore depuis mon achat, entre le 1 er élément et le corps de la flûteDu coup, on dirait que je débute l’apprentissage de cet instrument.Donc, pour les airs qui montent très haut, je reprends ma flûte « canard »!Sauf que pour les voisins, ce doit être un supplice auditif !😅M’enfin, je ne regrette pas mon achat: On peut flouter le son, et c’est très agréable.J’ai enlevé 1 étoile pour le bois qui selon le temps qu’il fait et en général aussi, refuse de monter dans les aigus : Il y a trop de jeu entre les différentes parties de la flûte et d’air qui passe .Je joue en moyenne 3 ou 4h /jour , et monter dans les aigus n’est pas très agréable à l’achat de cette flûte .Je pense aux parents qui ont acheté cette flûte pour l’école de leur progéniture, et me dis que, si ce « détail » était mentionné, ils s’isoleraient vite dès que l’enfant apprend justement à jouer les ut qui est facile sur une flûte en plastique ou en bois autre que l’érable .J’envisage même de boucher les 2 parties de la flûte parce que je joue avant. tout pour mon plaisir . Et éventuellement ceux qui m’écoutent depuis de longues années.Voilà !

My youngest wanted to try a recorder. I didn't realize they were made in anything but plastic material! The wood is beautiful and the sound is nicer than from a plastic one.

I'm just starting my recorder journey, and this is perfect for my needs.

Mouth piece is hard putting on and off. Had to sand the cork some to make it work better
