Yamaha, alto in f', German double hole, ivory colour
€33.00*
The instrument with the article number: YRA-27III-YAM manufactured by Yamaha is an instrument that is tirelessly fun in daily use.
This special feature is due to the masterful combination of the unique design with the qualities of the plastic material used.
The material used for this instrument is remarkably convincing due to its special sound characteristics. The special properties can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, the typical sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly different details: .
The scale
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 bore.
What music can the recorder be used for
Plastic is ideal for instruments that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are also possible.
Who is this recorder aimed at?
This means that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. Another important rule of thumb is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning more enriching than a supposedly cheap one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of a 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
very important
for the recorder's ability to create music. The windway of the Yamaha YRA-27III-YAM instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Yamaha YRA-27III-YAM recorder is supplied with the following fingering: .
Multiple parts
The number of individual parts of a musical instrument strongly influences the way in which the recorder is handled in terms of ease of grip and safe transport during daily use. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes multiple) instruments.
Leaders of large playing groups will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the appropriate accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to clean the blowing area sterilely at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases.

Spirit-stained surfacesGlazed surfacesLinseed oil surfacesLacquered surfacesWaxed surfacesUntreated wood surfacesABS plasticsRESONA
However, to be on the safe side, test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that the product does not leave any adverse changes on your instrument.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the instrument that are easy to reach with your fingers. Particularly on low instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.

Aulos, alto in f', baroque double hole, plastic
€49.20*
The instrument with the model designation: 309A-AUL from Aulos is an instrument that provides lasting enjoyment when making music.
This characteristic is largely due to the clever combination of the special construction concept in fine tuning with the qualities of the plastic material used.
The unique sound characteristics of this instrument are strikingly impressive. The special properties can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. For this reason, the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person in slightly different details: .
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder 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 bore.
What music can the instrument be used for
Plastic is predestined for recorders that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.
Who the instrument is aimed at
This means that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. One rule worth noting is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes learning progress easier than a poor-quality one.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the central starting point of the instrument's sound production.
At the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely influential
for the range of musical expression of the recorder. The windway of the Aulos model 309A-AUL is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the airflow more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are very complex and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Aulos 309A-AUL recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The construction of a musical instrument with multiple parts has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is easy to handle in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport in everyday use. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes multiple) instruments.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder comes with a bag and the following accessories as standard: Wiper stick, fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is rented out frequently, we recommend that you sterilise the blowing area at regular intervals to prevent the transmission of diseases.
The care product Flautisept has proven to be a safe aid. Flautisept is available in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Lacquered surfacesUntreated wooden surfacesLacquered surfacesRESONAWaxed surfacesLinseed oil surfacesABS plasticsSpirit-stained surfaces
To be on the safe side, test Fautisept on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any adverse effects on your instrument.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the body that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. Especially with bass recorders, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 309A-AUL instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easier than average for players with smaller hands to play.

The instrument with the article number: A5A-COO made by Aafab is a recorder that provides lasting fun in daily use.
This characteristic is largely due to the clever combination of the unique model in fine tuning with the tone colours of the pear wood used.
The material fascinates with its typical sound characteristics. The special features can best be described in the following words: Pear wood: Soft, choral sound. Suitable for playing in a group.
The scale
The inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the recorder its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than models with a narrower scale.
What music is the recorder best suited to?
Pearwood is particularly suitable for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, although other styles are possible.
Who the instrument is aimed at
This means that pearwood instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another generally valid rule of thumb is that a higher quality instrument will in most cases make playing together less complicated than an instrument that appears inexpensive at first glance.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is the determining element in the sound production of a recorder.
In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the musical formability of the recorder's achievable sounds. The windway of the A5A-COO instrument from Aafab is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their geometric design, windways are extremely complex and many parameters interact.
Fingering
The Aafab A5A-COO instrument is made in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The construction of a woodwind instrument influences in many ways the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Leaders of large playing groups will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint at regular intervals to ensure hygienic safety.

Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places in the body that are comfortable and easy to play with the fingers. Particularly on deep recorders, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. On such instruments, keys are added by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The A5A-COO instrument has the following keys: . This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands.
