This Yamaha recorder for the unbeatable price of Amazon 7, - is worth every Euro! It sounds clean and tidy. Man they can - if, for example "foreign" small children go suck on this instrument and play around - fantastically clean due to their material. Also great for the cold season! They also survived a fall without such a high-quality wooden flute to be damaged.
All in all, a solid "Yamaha" with rich sound for a beginner flute. Our two daughters (7 and 4) they use a lot. The elderly should just ansschaffen this also for their education. That speaks well for itself ... Recommended!
