Designed with an arched windway for superior control and modeled after Yamaha’s popular 300 series, it offers professional quality and eco-conscious craftsmanship. Perfect for millennial professionals seeking a blend of tradition, sustainability, and performance. ## Description Yamaha 400 series recorders are made from a special plastic called Ecodear that's made from plants. In addition to being better for the environment than regular plastic, the Ecodear body is also a little more dense, giving these instruments a richer sound that's more similar what you'd hear from a wooden instrument. The YRA-402B is a 3-piece Alto recorder in the key of F, with traditional baroque fingering. Review: Amazingly good! - A remarkably good recorder at an incredibly low price and with a lovely tone equal to a wooden instrument. Perfect for practicing without the need to “play-in” or swab out immediately - I tend to snatch very short practices between interruptions! There is an initial tendency for the windway to clog, as with most recorders, but this goes away when the instrument has warmed up. When the recorder is pushed to its limits the low notes can be satisfyingly loud! When is the tenor model coming out? Review: very pleased - I have been playing Descant recorder for some years and wanted to learn how to play the Alto as well. I have another plastic Alto and wanted something that would be a step up from that one but not too expensive. This is just what I was hoping for and more. It has a lovely tone much better than my other one and the notes sound much clearer not at all airy. I can see me using this one for many years. Very Happy! ## Features - 3-piece alto recorder in the key of F - Made from plant-based Ecodear plastic - Ecodear gives the recorder a rich, mellow tone similar to the sound produced by wood - Body design based on the popular Yamaha 300 series recorders - Arched windway gives experienced players more control ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01IRRI0I6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,040 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 35 in Recorders (Musical Instruments & DJ) | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Colour | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 272 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00889025102308 | | Included Components | Cloth bag, fingering chart, cleaning rod, recorder cream | | Instrument Key | F Major | | Instrument key | F Major | | Item Dimensions | 47 x 4.4 x 4.4 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.29 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.29 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Yamaha | | Manufacturer Part Number | YRA-402B | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | YRA-402B | | Model Number | YRA-402B | | Set Name | Yamaha 400 Series | | Sound Profile | Soft | | Style | Traditional | | UPC | 889025102308 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Colour:** Brown, White - **Instrument key:** F Major - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Traditional ## Images ![Yamaha Recorder (YRA-402B) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JX5yxtIIL.jpg) ![Yamaha Recorder (YRA-402B) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KAqSRb10L.jpg) ![Yamaha Recorder (YRA-402B) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zwfzXLEiL.jpg) ![Yamaha Recorder (YRA-402B) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wQo6Ou2YL.jpg) ![Yamaha Recorder (YRA-402B) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IAQSX4GhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why is this in key of 'f', I understood tenors were in 'c' ?** A: Hi This is an alto recorder, also known as a treble recorder. It is not a tenor recorder. Alto/treble recorders are in F, while tenors are in C, as you say. If you're looking for a tenor recorder, you might consider the Aulos at https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GQNRVKC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought this and was please with it because I have smallish hands and had struggled with other tenors. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly good! *by M***D on 4 October 2018* A remarkably good recorder at an incredibly low price and with a lovely tone equal to a wooden instrument.
