Re: Recorders

The choice of the Yamaha 300 series is a very good choice. I have European friends who play recorders professionally and they say a good plastic recorder is much preferable to an average wooden recorder. Also wooden recorders have a very short shelf life and will blow out more quickly than a clarinet ever would.

Several years ago I learned recorder in order to expand my repertoire to the Renaissance and Baroque. But after realizing that learning any instrument, even a fairly simple wind instrument like the recorder, would require some dedication, I chose to upgrade and learn the flute.

Don't get me wrong I like the sound of recorders, but the tonal palette of the flute is much more flexible plus the flute can play the vast flute repertoire plus early music.

However there is something EXTREMELY appealing about adding a very simple, inexpensive instrument like the recorder to your arsenal. Especially when your primary instrument is the clarinet.

Enjoy
