Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This sopranino recorder is a legitimate musical instrument despite the fact that it is priced as if it were just a toy. The tone is really rather impressive with an accurately intoned and complex sounding lower end and a ringing and brilliant high end. Overall I'm very impressed, and not just because of the price. It can stand in comparison to a wooden instrument, but a wooden instrument would definitely sound more rounded and resonant-but thats what you get by spending upwards of 1000% more. Also there's the added benefit of not having to care meticulously for it.
Any complaints about intonation are really poorly founded. A wind instrument of any sort (at least that I'm aware of) will never play perfectly on pitch when you simply blow any stream of air through it. Its always possible to be a little flat and more likely a little sharp even on a blockflute type instrument like a recorder. That said, a good instrument will limit the discrepancy by which you can be sharp or flat and still produce a sound, and this recorder does that quite well. You do have to wield it with a good sense of control, but after getting your feel for the instrument down, that should come quite naturally. This instrument is worthy enough to be recorded or performed with other A=440 instruments and sounds.
Any one who likes playing recorder should definitely pick this one up. It's cheap, more portable than a soprano, very fun to play, and definitely worthwhile for anyone with a serious musical intent. This is the smallest size recorder that can be easy played by someone familiar with the larger sizes. The garklein really is a pain in the ear and a pain in the a$$, but still fun for a gag. The finger spacing on a sopranino should be comfortable with average sized hands or less, and workeable so long as you are not Shaq or Andre the giant. Yamaha products have always struck me as quality and trustworthy and this recorder is no exception.
