The recorder with the model number: YRT-304BII-YAM from Yamaha is a musical tool that makes playing music a lasting pleasure. This is largely due to the special combination of the pioneering instrument model in symbiosis with the qualities of the plastic material used. This material inspires the instrument with its special advantages. The special features can best be described in the following words, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: . The scale The inner bore of the recorder 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. For which music can the instrument best be used Plastic is ideal for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are also possible. Who the instrument is aimed at It follows that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for beginners. One rule to bear in mind is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes music-making more enjoyable than a poor-quality one. 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 one of the most important elements of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore one of the defining principles for the recorder's ability to create music. The windway of the Yamaha YRT-304BII-YAM instrument is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters influence each other. Fingering The Yamaha YRT-304BII-YAM recorder is made with the following fingering: Baroque double hole. Construction method The number of individual parts of a recorder determines in many ways the way in which the woodwind instrument is handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments have to be transported. Just ask veteran ensemble leaders. Packaging and accessories The recorder is supplied as standard with a bag and the following accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the instrument is lent out from time to time, we recommend that you sterilise the beak area regularly to ensure that it is hygienically safe. The care product Flautisept has proven to be a safe aid. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: ABS plasticsLacquered surfacesRESONASpirit stained surfacesUntreated wood surfacesLinseed oil surfacesWaxed surfacesGlazed surfaces However, before using Fautisept, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not leave any adverse changes on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places in the instrument body that are easy to play with your fingers. Particularly on larger recorders, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to these instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place. The YRT-304BII-YAM instrument has the following keys: 2-fold foot key. This means that it can also be played by players with smaller hands. Advice on finding a new instrument How to find your future instrument safely Find out all you can!

The recorder with the model number: YRT-61M-YAM from the Yamaha workshop is an instrument that is always fun to play in everyday use. This is largely due to the clever marriage of the outstanding design in symbiosis with the advantages of the maple material used. The material used for this instrument is characterised by its exceptional sound characteristics. The special characteristics can best be described in the following words, although it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of recorders is perceived and described slightly differently by each person: Maple: Warm and clear, somewhat thinner than pear. The scale The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder 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 styles of music can the instrument be used for Maple is ideal for instruments that are used primarily for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are also possible. Who the instrument is aimed at The above facts show that maple recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another basic rule to bear in mind is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes playing together more enjoyable than a simple one. The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where 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. It is at the labium that the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely important for influencing the possible sounds of the instrument. The windway of the Yamaha YRT-61M-YAM model is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conically shaped windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are naturally complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other. Fingering The Yamaha YRT-61M-YAM instrument is supplied in fingering: Baroque double hole. Multi-part construction The way an instrument is constructed has a strong influence on the way in which the recorder is handled on a daily basis, both in terms of ease of assembly and ease of transport. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments. Recorder orchestra leaders will agree with us. Packaging and accessories The model is supplied as standard with a bag and useful accessories: Wiper rod, cork grease, fingering chart, care instructions Hygiene tips If the recorder is played by several people, it is advisable to sterilise the headjoint if necessary to prevent the transmission of diseases. Flautisept has proven to be a good solution for this. Flautisept is available in our collection. It works with the following surfaces: Linseed oil surfacesRESONAWaxed surfacesABS plasticsLacquered surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesGlazed surfacesUntreated wood surfaces However, before use, test on an inconspicuous area to ensure that Fautisept does not leave any unwanted marks on your recorder. Optional information on keys It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places that are easy and comfortable to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on larger recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place. The instrument YRT-61M-YAM has the following keys: 2-fold foot key. This makes it easy to play even for players with smaller hands. Tips for finding a new instrument The easiest way to find your next instrument Seek expert advice!
