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

The recorder with the article number: YRS-312BIII-YAM built by Yamaha is a companion that is always a joy to play, both in the classroom and on stage.
This characteristic is due to the special combination of the above-average instrument model in combination with the sound characteristics of the plastic material used.

The material used for this instrument is characterised by its typical sound characteristics. The characteristics can be described 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 scale.

What music can the instrument be used for

Plastic is ideal for recorders that are used in.

Who is this instrument aimed at?

It follows from the above that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. Another important basic rule is that a higher quality instrument will in most cases make learning progress easier than a seemingly inexpensive offer.

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the central starting point for the sound production of the instrument. In interaction with the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute tone is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore extraordinarily influential on the sound and response of the recorder.

The windway of the Yamaha YRS-312BIII-YAM instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.
Conically shaped windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are naturally complex in their design and many parameters play together.

Fingering

Construction method

The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument influences in many ways the way in which the recorder is handled in everyday use, both in terms of ease of assembly and safe transport.
A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be taken along.
Directors of large ensembles know how useful good and compact recorder cases are. Provided the instruments can be disassembled into small pieces.
