Yamaha YRS-402B Ecodear Soprano recorder baroque fingering

General

Yamaha is the first manufacturer brave enough to make musical instruments using Ecodear, a special plastic that's made from biomass instead of petroleum, making it CO2-neutral. Thanks to this environmentally friendly material, the recorder produces an incredibly natural sound, closely resembling the warm, round tone of a wooden model. The use of Ecodear also improves breath response and high-register control.

Looks

To keep up the natural theme, Yamaha has given the YRS-402B the yellow and white hues of corn on the cob. The recorder's mouthpiece has an arched windway that produces slight resistance when you play, enhancing breath control and allowing for better expression and projection. The Yamaha YRS-402B features baroque fingering with double sixth and seventh holes, and comes with a cotton cloth case that's just as eco-friendly as the instrument itself.
