 A legit and excellent musical instrument Dec 05, 2009
By Jeffrey Matthew Connors
"SixStringShaman"
This sopranino recorder is a legitimate musical instrument despite the fact that it is priced as if it were just a toy. The tone is really rather impressive with an accurately intoned and complex sounding lower end and a ringing and brilliant high end. Overall I'm very impressed, and not just because of the price. It can stand in comparison to a wooden instrument, but a wooden instrument would definitely sound more rounded and resonant-but thats what you get by spending upwards of 1000% more. Also there's the added benefit of not having to care meticulously for it.
Any complaints about intonation are really poorly founded. A wind instrument of any sort (at least that I'm aware of) will never play perfectly on pitch when you simply blow any stream of air through it. Its always possible to be a little flat and more likely a little sharp even on a blockflute type instrument like a recorder. That said, a good instrument will limit the discrepancy by which you can be sharp or flat and still produce a sound, and this recorder does that quite well. You do have to wield it with a good sense of control, but after getting your feel for the instrument down, that should come quite naturally. This instrument is worthy enough to be recorded or performed with other A=440 instruments and sounds.
Any one who likes playing recorder should definitely pick this one up. It's cheap, more portable than a soprano, very fun to play, and definitely worthwhile for anyone with a serious musical intent. This is the smallest size recorder that can be easy played by someone familiar with the larger sizes. The garklein really is a pain in the ear and a pain in the a$$, but still fun for a gag. The finger spacing on a sopranino should be comfortable with average sized hands or less, and workeable so long as you are not Shaq or Andre the giant. Yamaha products have always struck me as quality and trustworthy and this recorder is no exception.

Wonderful for a plastic recorder Aug 22, 2008
By John Oconnor
"Wrong Reverend Pope John the Melodicist"
As has been pointed out by the other reviewers, this is just short of a professional instrument. No, Bernard Krainis would not play this instrument, but then, Julian Bream would not play a Fender guitar, either. For the price and what it is, this is a very nice little instrument, though. It is superior to the somewhat cheaper versions of Yamaha plastic sopranino recorder, the YRN-22B, in that this has a somewhat mellower sound. Let's face it, though, sopranino recorder is somewhat shrill, even if it's a $400 version. For the money, you can't beat this little instrument. If you want a professional version, then spend the money on a cherry wood sopranino or buy one in a $500 set. For what is it, this is a sweet instrument.

Excellent plastic recorder Jan 09, 2007
By anonymous
The reviewer who complained about the pitch of this instrument is a little like the guy who complains about service at Denny's. If you want a real "professional" sopranino get a Moeck. Otherwise this little Yamaha is fine, with decent pitch and very loud. Great for covering fife and piccolo parts. There's also some very beautiful music by Vivaldi written especially for the instrument.

Very good for the price Jan 21, 2006
I have the Soprano and Alto recorders in the Yamaha 300 series and this is another great instrument. Forget what the above comment says. The sound is clear and lovely. I advise you to buy it. It's worth the money.

 A bit disappointed Mar 11, 2005
By Walter Reade
I have both the Alto and Soprano 300-series recorders, and have been very pleased with them. I was less pleased with the Sopranino. It just doesn't seem to have the quality that the others do. The fingering holes feel a bit rougher and the sound is not as smooth. This is not a terrible instrument, but definitely not that great, either.
