Title: Low Quality
Review: Do yourself a favor and buy a Yamaha recorder or similar. This recorder is badly designed. The hole for low C is difficult to reach because the bulky lower joint gets in the way. The recorder sounds okay in the first octave (Though F is weak), but the second octave... I can barely get it past high G, and it is very shrill. It also is not particularly attractive. It's actually a rather ugly simplification: I like the ordinary baroque design better. In any case, if you are buying for a child, I have had good results with the YRS24B (a school level Soprano Recorder). For an adult, I would recomend starting with the 300 series: resonably priced and very high quality. Also consider an alto recorder rather than a soprano -- it's somewhat bigger for adult hands, and has a pretty sound. I really haven't had experience with the other brands, but a quick google search should help you there. Make sure to stick with companies that have experience in instrument making -- not toy making.
