About this product
Overview & specifications
Yamaha YRA-302BIII Alto Recorder is the treble in F for a student or ensemble player who wants a proper instrument rather than a classroom model. It follows the Rottenburgh pattern used by serious recorder makers, in an ABS resin body that needs almost no looking after.
Rottenburgh model with an arched windway
The YRA-302BIII is a Rottenburgh-style recorder, the baroque design behind most good wooden altos, with an arched windway rather than a straight one. That shape gives a fuller, more even sound and more control over breath pressure, which is what separates a treble you can play in consort from one you cannot.
Double holes, three-piece ABS resin body
Double holes on the lower two fingers allow proper chromatic fingerings for low F# and G# instead of half-holing. The body is three pieces in ABS resin, so it can be tuned by adjusting the head joint and pulled apart for a thorough clean after playing. A fingering chart, recorder cream for the joints and a cleaning rod come with it.
