 The best buy in quality recorders May 24, 2005
By William Gowers
I have been playing recorders for 40+ years and have recorded 2 CDs using the Yamaha 300 series recorders. I own and play all the recorders in this series - SN,S,A,T,B. These recorders respond and sound like the finest wooden recorders. They are perfectly in tune with themselves, other sized recorders in this series and other instruments. They have a lovely tone quality. The upper instruments - SN,S and A - have a reedy quality and the lower instruments - T and B - have a haunting hollow tone quality. You can't go wrong with any of the fine recorders in this series. Good luck and happy playing!

Great instrument for a beginner Sep 14, 2005
By Xizzy
To my ears this instrument sounds almost as well as some of the pro wooden ones I've heard on recorder music CDs. I second many people's opinion that Yamaha's are the best plastic recorders out there.
My only gripe about plastic recorders in general (including this one) is that moisture droplets quickly accumulate on the surface of the windway and start distorting the sound. This is especially true for the notes in the lowest and highest parts of the range. I find it hard to practice for more that 10-15 minutes before I have to dry up the instrument. I think, periodically switching between two recorders might address this.

 Constant cloging problems Feb 21, 2007
By Vasya
The windway of this instrument is quite narrow. So, saliva from your mouth will always clog it. Moreover, the breath pressure you should apply to this instrument is so marginal, so low that at begining you won't be able to produce nice sound on this recorder. Maybe try plastic Aulos, the ones I tried don't have clogging problems and they are more tolerable of regular breath pressure. Better yet buy yourserf wooden Moeck recorder.

A superb recorder for the price! Nov 08, 2009
By Z. deScathach
I've had my YRA-302B for years, and find it to be hands down the best recorder for the money. True, moisture builds up quicker than with a wooden recorder, but the sound easily beats out other plastic recorders. The amount of breath control needed is considereable, but this is actually a good thing. One can get into bad habits with a recorder that allows a hard blow, and recorders that allow hard blows tend to have worse tone.
So yes, it'll take some practice to avoid shrieking on it, but trust me, the rewards will be great, because that same sensitivity allows one to do modifications of tone. The YRA-302B is a recorder that you can make talk, and it's not gaggingly expensive!

Yamaha YRA=302B Alto Recorder, Key of F Oct 09, 2010
By Barb W.
A very good value. My purpose was to provide an alternative to spare my wooden Moeck recorder when rehearsing or performing for long periods of time. The Yamaha has pretty good tone, stays on pitch, can produce both the highest and the lowest notes with ease and has wonderful endurance. Plus, it is light weight, travels well.
