The recorder with the model name: YRB-302BII-YAM manufactured by Yamaha is a musical tool that makes music fun in the classroom and on stage.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful marriage of the ingenious design in fine tuning with the qualities of the plastic material used.
The material used for this instrument impresses with its exceptional sound characteristics. The properties can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described differently by each person: .
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.
For which musical styles is the recorder best suited?
Plastic is particularly suitable for recorders that focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.
Who this instrument is aimed at
It follows that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes playing easier than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the recorder's sound.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the sound and response of the instrument. The windway of the Yamaha YRB-302BII-YAM instrument is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Yamaha YRB-302BII-YAM model is manufactured in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multi-piece construction
The constructional design of a musical instrument in terms of multiple parts characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder is easy to handle in terms of easy assembly and compact transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder comes with a bag and useful accessories as standard: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, wiper stick, wiper cloth, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is shared, you should consider sterilising the blowing area regularly for your own protection.
Flautisept has proven effective for disinfection in these cases. Flautisept is available in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Glazed surfaces, RESONA, Waxed surfaces, ABS plastics, Linseed oil surfaces, Lacquered surfaces, Spirit-stained surfaces, Untreated wooden surfaces
However, before use, test on an inconspicuous area to ensure that the product does not cause any discolouration on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places in the body that are easy and comfortable to play with your fingers. Particularly on low instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The YRB-302BII-YAM instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands.

Recommendations for finding a new instrument
How to easily find your next instrument
Seek expert advice!
Never let "generally applicable" rules such as "material xy doesn't work at all in an ensemble / for professionals" stop you from testing an instrument yourself.
Your musical sensitivity is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which instrument concept appeals to you personally. Our recommendation is therefore: Try out unknown construction concepts that you have not yet tested.
You will only gain in experience.
The instrument with the model number 449HPK-AS-PBK from the "Master" series manufactured by Paetzold by Kunath is an instrument that can generate joy in the classroom as well as on stage.
This special feature is largely due to the special marriage of the unique design in combination with the tone colours of the birch plywood used.
This material makes a pleasant impression on the instrument thanks to its special advantages. The features can be characterised as follows: Birch plywood: A carrying but soft sound.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is cylindrical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.
Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder
Birch plywood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used for this type of music: All styles.
Who is this instrument aimed at
It follows that recorders made from birch plywood are particularly suitable for students and professional players. One basic rule to bear in mind is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes music-making less complicated than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the recorder's sound production.
In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining principles
for the sound and response of the recorder. The windway of the 449HPK-AS-PBK instrument from Paetzold by Kunath is shaped as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are naturally complex in their geometric design and many parameters interact.
