Start with great sound

Yamaha has been building musical instruments for more than 130 years, so we know what it takes to make a great sound. Our 20-series models produce a classic recorder tone that's pure and in tune across the whole instrument.

Music can be fun! The translucent, candy-colored Yamaha rainbow recorders are Real instruments, not toys. They are made from the same ABS resin materials as regular Yamaha recorders, and offer the same superior tuning, the same beautiful tone, and the same great durability. They play effortlessly with a rich, full sound, and with their colorful look they make even routine practice fun!

Yamaha's 20 and 30 Series recorders are designed to provide a perfect start to anyone's musical education. They offer an ideal amount of air resistance for easy control, and feature an accuracy of intonation you would expect to find only one more expensive models. Though other maker's plastic recorders may have a similar appearance, Yamaha ABS recorders are truly superior instruments. Models are available with either 'German' or 'Baroque' fingering systems. The 20 Series, easy to play throughout their ranges, are primarily intended for beginners. 30 Series recorders, which feature an arched wind-way for improved breath control and tonal expression, are for more advanced players. Note: The G stamp on the packaging indicates German style fingering (not the key).

Safety and Maintanance:They can also be washed with neutral detergent, and have the advantage of relatively straightforward maintenance, although water droplets can clog the wind way (airway) because these instruments do not absorb moisture.

If this occurs, lightly tap just above the window, and blow forcefully to force out the droplets of water. If doing this during a performance, take care to ensure the sound of blowing cannot be heard. It is possible to dislodge and reduce moisture that has adhered to the inside of the instrument by sucking just a little.
