S
An Adequate Recorder
SawUSA 22.03.2019
Background:
I've played baroque recorders for twenty years, in both consort and solo performances. I purchased this recorder because wanted to try a reasonably priced renaissance-like recorder.

Pros:
1. Aesthetically appealing.
2. Well-designed, low maintenance joint and two-piece construction.
3. A strong, yet soft tone.

Cons:
1. Playing A5 or higher using baroque fingering is possible, but renaissance fingering is better, especially when starting a phrase or after breathing.
2. Its response to articulation is not as precise as a baroque recorder's response, but it is adequate for beginner recorder players whose music does not feature intricate articulation or complicated phrasing.

Overall:
This is a great entry-level recorder, but be prepared to expand your collection as your repertoire grows.

A fun look and surprisingly solid
TBD, Boston MA 20.07.2020
It's a red sparkle recorder with gold trim, and my expectations were honestly not that high. Something fun and festive for under 25€. However, it's a surprisingly heavy feel in the hand and a nice round sound. The top notes (A in the second octave and above) are a little hit or miss but I also haven't spent a lot of time trying to modify my technique to get a better response since I have other recorders that play easily up there. For the price and for the fun, you can't go wrong, but for a truly great instrument, try one of their wooden "Dream" models.

Good quality and fun to play
Henry VIII 04.02.2021
I purchased this recorder because I wanted to explore the sound of Renaissance-style instruments. A number of sources had mentioned the significant difference in timbre between this and normal baroque-style recorders. However, this difference is very subtle and mostly manifests as SLIGHTLY less "edge" to the start of a tongued note. I can't knock stars off for that because the sound itself is very good, and it plays well and in tune. I have to play carefully to sound the very highest notes well but that's more about my skill as a player! The design of it makes it a little trickier to hold than some, and the larger holes take a little getting used to, but it's very enjoyable to play and seems well-made. I like that it has a bright and different colour scheme, which is less common in quality plastic instruments. I think that now I have this, I will not need to purchase a new plastic baroque style soprano, as I had been intending.

I love it!
Anonymous 28.09.2016
Not only does it sparkle, but it also has a lovely full tone. My only gripe would be that it doesn't easily play very high notes A/B/C third octave, but with a bit of adjusting and blowing fairly strongly even these notes will happen.

Altogether a great instrument for learners and any players who don't want their wooden instrument to get damp!
