I've had a couple of very nice wood recorders, based on F, in the past, but I've never played a plastic recorder that had as good a sound, or as reliable intonation and accuracy as this one. It compares well with the nice wood recorders I've played. If I ever have trouble with a high note, I find that there condensation in the mouthpiece, but it is way less an occurrence as it would be with other plastic recorders I've tried. It looks good too. I think this would be an excellent recorder for a beginner or a more advanced student, because it is much easier to play, with reliable intonation and fingering. Students should start on the best instruments that they can afford, because there is nothing more discouraging to a beginner to play on an instrument that just won't sound good no matter how hard you try. Why make learning more of a chore than it has to be? But as others have said, it is a good practice instrument for more advanced players, because you don't have to worry much about moisture, etc, harming the instrument. I'm very pleased with this, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a surprisingly good recorder for a surprisingly good price.

I have an Aulos soprano that I really like even over my Yamaha soprano recorders. So I was having problems with the alto Yamaha I have on the low notes and decided to get a Aulos alto and Yes!! I really have less problems with the Aulos! Has nice touches like a bushed thumbhole and a detachable thumb rest also.I'm very pleased with this new recorder. :)
