Yamaha, soprano in c'', baroque double hole, ebony imitation

The recorder with the article number: YRS-314BIII-YAM built by Yamaha is a musical tool that is always a joy to play.
The instrument owes this special feature mainly to the skilful combination of the carefully considered design with the tone colours of the plastic material used.

This material is pleasantly convincing with its unique advantages. The features can be summarised as follows: .

The scale

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

What music is the recorder best suited to?

Plastic is ideal for recorders that are used in.

Who is this instrument aimed at

This means that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. An additional general rule is that a better quality instrument will in most cases make learning easier than an inferior quality instrument.

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder in which the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the determining element in the sound production of a recorder. In interaction with the labium, this air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extraordinarily relevant for the recorder's ability to create music.

The windway of the Yamaha YRS-314BIII-YAM instrument is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrical ones.
Due to their design, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.

Fingering

The Yamaha YRS-314BIII-YAM instrument is supplied in fingering: Baroque double hole.

Multiple parts

The number of individual parts of an instrument has a fundamental influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled easily in terms of grip on the one hand and transported safely on the other.
This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be transported.
Recorder orchestra leaders know how useful good, compact recorder cases are. Provided the instruments can be easily disassembled.

Packaging and accessories

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

Hygiene tips

If the instrument is lent out frequently, it is advisable to clean the beak area sterilely again and again for your own protection. In these cases, the care product Flautisept has proven to be effective. You can find Flautisept in our collection. It works with the following surfaces:

• Waxed surfaces
• ABS plastics
• Spirit-stained surfaces
• Untreated wood surfaces
• Lacquered surfaces
• RESONA
• Lacquered surfaces
• Linseed oil surfaces

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

Optional information on keys

It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places on the instrument that are easy to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. On these instruments, keys are fitted by the instrument maker to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The instrument YRS-314BIII-YAM has the following keys: . This makes it remarkably easy to play, even for players with smaller hands.

Notes on finding a new instrument

How to find your new instrument easily
Ask people you know!
Under no circumstances should you let "generally accepted" rules such as "instrument xy doesn't work at all in an ensemble / for professionals" stop you from testing a recorder yourself. Your musical sensibility is as unique as you are. Therefore, only you can decide which wind tunnel mould suits you.
Our recommendation is therefore: test different moulds that you have never tried before. You can't lose anything, you can only gain experience.
