The Yamaha YRS-20BG is a 3-piece soprano (descant) recorder in the key of C, featuring a translucent green finish. Like other models in Yamaha’s 20 series, it is a durable, safe, and easy-to-play plastic instrument designed for educational settings and beginners.
Features
- Material and construction: It is made from a durable, food-safe ABS resin that can be easily cleaned with soap and water. The 3-piece design allows for simple tuning and cleaning.
- Windway: It features a straight windway, which provides beginners with a soft, pure tone and requires less breath resistance than instruments with an arched windway.
- Fingering system: It uses the Baroque (or English) fingering system, which is the standard fingering for recorders in many music education programs.
- Double holes: Double holes for low C/C# and D/D# help improve intonation for beginners.
- Color: The translucent green color, part of Yamaha’s “Rainbow Recorders” line, is intended to make learning more fun and engaging for students.
- Included accessories: The recorder typically comes with a bag and a fingering chart.
