Yamaha Soprano/Descant Recorder YRS-23

Get a quality recorder that’s easier to play with Yamaha’s YRS-23Y Soprano Recorder. Its uniform intonation makes it the perfect recorder for all levels. To make it extremely durable for kids and classrooms, Yamaha used ABS resin to ensure it doesn’t easily break while also making it very light weight. It uses German Fingering which can be easier for new players to learn on because it does not use the “forked” fingering for F.

3 Piece Construction Advantages

It’s made from three pieces which have added advantages.

• It can be easier to clean by being able to pull each piece apart.
• The foot joint can be adjusted to make fingering easier and for the perfect intonation.
• Music students can remove the head while practicing their fingering so they’re not tempted to play when they should be listening.

Recorder Care

1. Clean the outside of the recorder of any debris and the inside of moisture with a lint-free cloth after play. West Music recommends a combination of a cleaning rod that comes with its own lint free cloth.
2. The labium (where the air flows in the front of the recorder just under the mouthpiece), and the section immediately surrounding it, is the most important part for sound production.  Be careful not to damage it in any way.  
3. The mouthpiece section is the part most easily dirtied; always keep it clean. Wipe the outer surface clean whenever it becomes dirty. NEVER use benzene or methyl alcohol.
4. Use recorder cream around the joints when assembling the recorder.
