 Great Quality - Hard to play January 9, 2007

I played the recorder in school, so I thought it would be easy to pick it up again. I always liked the sound of the tenor, and Yamaha has been a favorite of mine, so the choice was easy. The quality of this instrument is excellent. Very solid, and great tone for a resin (plastic) recorder. My only problem so far is the finger spacing. I had read that it was pretty wide, but heck, I play the piano, and I've always had fairly long fingers, so I didn't think it would be a problem. Either my fingers shrunk, or this is one tough instrument to play. I would not recommend it for a beginner like me. I may have to sell it and get a Yamaha alto instead, but it's got such a great sound that I'd hate to do it.
 it's big! August 29, 2006

I bought my yamaha 300 tenor about five years ago. In terms of tone and tuning, I've been very happy with it. You do have to work a little harder to get it in tune for the higher octave, but this has been the case with all of the tenors I've played. The lack of absorbtion can be an issue too. It gets clogged up very easily.
Also, do you have small hands? - it is a big instrument. If your hands are small like mine are, you will probably find yourself avoiding middle Cs, C#s, and Fs (or suffering the consequences, as I am currently... ouch). I can only play it for short amounts of time. Some others who have played it haven't any problems in that respect though. But I wouldn't reccomend it for young kids.
