The instrument with the model designation: YRN-21-YAM, manufactured by Yamaha, is a companion that provides tireless fun in everyday use.
This characteristic is largely due to the skilful combination of the special instrument model in combination with the sound characteristics of the plastic material used.
This material is pleasantly convincing with its unique advantages. The characteristics can be described as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be described very inadequately with words. For this reason, each person perceives and describes the details of the material-typical sound of recorders slightly differently: .
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 inner bore.
Which musical styles are best suited to the recorder
Plastic is predestined for instruments that are mainly used for 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 beginners. An additional rule is that a better quality instrument will in most cases make playing together more enriching than a poor quality one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument'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
one of the defining principles
for the instrument's range of artistic applications. The windway of the Yamaha YRN-21-YAM model is constructed as follows: Straight, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Due to their geometric design, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Yamaha YRN-21-YAM model is offered in the following fingerings: .
Construction of the body
The number of components in a recorder determines in many ways the way in which the woodwind instrument is handled, both in terms of ease of assembly and ease of transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is shared, it is advisable to clean the beak area sterilely if necessary to ensure hygienic safety.

Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places on the instrument that are easy and comfortable to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on low instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The YRN-21-YAM instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played comfortably by players with smaller hands.

The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is one of the most important elements in the sound production of the instrument.
At the labium, the air blade produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the basic characteristics
for the sound and response of the recorder. The windway of the Küng 1202-KUE instrument is constructed as follows: Straight cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Küng 1202-KUE recorder is made in the fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multiple parts
The number of components of an instrument has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled easily in terms of ease of grip on the one hand and compact transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Recorder orchestra leaders will agree with us.
Packaging and accessories
The model is supplied as standard with a bag and useful accessories: Fingering chart, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is lent out from time to time, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint regularly to prevent the transmission of diseases.

extremely important
for the artistic usability of the instrument. The windway of the Moeck 4101-MOE recorder is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
