Yamaha's promise to the earth. Designed to be environmentally friendly, the YRS402B is made from Yamaha's plant-based material - Ecodear. Ecodear offers a mellow and centred tone, plus improved breath response and high-register control. The YRS402B is known for its ability to produce a clear and distinct tone. To ensure a quick and fun learning experience, the Yamaha YRS402B features a Baroque fingering system. This design was perfected hundreds of years ago and holds very accurate tuning. To further aid your progression, the YRS402B features an arched windway. Ideal if you want to take control of your recorder, the arched windway offers more resistance which enables you to play in a more virtuosic style. Included with the YRS402B is a carry bag and a fingering chart so you can get started straight away.
