Yamaha, soprano in c'', baroque double hole, brown

The Yamaha recorder with the article number: YRS-302BIII-YAM is an instrument that provides lasting enjoyment in the classroom and on stage.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful combination of the pioneering instrument model with the qualities of the plastic material used.

This material is a delight with its unique advantages. The characteristics can be roughly described as follows, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. For this reason, the details of the material-typical sound of recorders are perceived and described slightly differently by each person: .

The scale

The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.

What music can the instrument be used for

Plastic is ideally suited for instruments that are used in the .

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 it easier to make music than an inferior instrument.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This air blade is one of the most important elements 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 features for the variability of the musical expression possibilities of the recorder.

The windway of the Yamaha YRS-302BIII-YAM instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones.
Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters influence each other.

Fingering

The Yamaha YRS-302BIII-YAM recorder is supplied with the following fingering: Baroque double hole.

Construction of the body

The structural design of a recorder in terms of its multiple parts has an extraordinary influence on the way in which it can ensure uncomplicated handling in terms of ease of grip and convenient transport in everyday use.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be taken along.
Recorder choir directors know how useful good, compact recorder cases are. Provided the instruments can be disassembled into small pieces.

Packaging and accessories

The instrument is supplied as standard with a bag and useful accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions

Hygiene tips

If the recorder is lent out again and again, it makes sense to repeatedly disinfect the blowing area to ensure hygienic safety. Flautisept has proved its worth in such cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:

• ABS plastics
• Spirit-stained surfaces
• Waxed surfaces
• RESONA
• Lacquered surfaces
• Lacquered surfaces

• Linseed oil surfaces

However, before using the product, test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder.

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to place tone holes in places in the instrument body that are easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger instruments in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On such instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The YRS-302BIII-YAM instrument has the following keys: . This means that it can also be played with ease by players with smaller hands.
