I never had a Zen-On yet in my hands. I liked it very much, but a tad less than the Aulos Haka. The Yamaha most probably has the tightest windway of the three? …which is always my least favorite for my taste. Kudos to your choice of sound samples - very helpful for comprehensive comparison! Myself I can compare the Aulos Haka with the Aulos Symphony, which is still my favorite plastic alto. I also have Music Garden (translucent) and Yamaha Ecodear, which look better but don’t sound better- again a highly subjective matter of taste.
Hello, Thanks for the comparison. Do you sell this Aulos HAKA 709 BWE? Unfortunatelly here in Brazil the stores only sells Yamaha and if I want to buy this online in some website the taxes is about 92% (because the tax of my country). The recorder at the end cost too expensive. I started learning recorder about 3 months ago, but now I got an opportunity to study in a music school in my city for 3 years, so I am looking for an Aulos or Zen On.
Maestro, I believe that if you get the Stanesby Soprano by Zen On and the Aulos Haka Soprano you will have the hardest moment of your life finding out which recorder is the best:-) Honestly, I enjoy all my plastic Recorders and my choice for the best soprano/alto recorder will depend on the piece:-)
io con lo Yamaha non riuscivo a suonare, per la condensa che si formava continuamente, le note alte avevo difficoltà. Poi ho preso un Aulos, 509B ,🎉🎉🎉tutta un'altra vita!!!! mi trovo benissimo .
Grazie, Aldo. My personal preference would be: 1. Aulos Haka 2. Zen-On 3. Yamaha Each of these ABS resin recorders is fantastic and has its own unique character
A mi personalmente me gusta mas el sonido de la yamaha y mira que la que temgo es de la linea 30 y no de la 300. Tengo tambien zen on y me resulta mas ágil en el cambio pero me gusta menos el sonido. De la aulos tengo la tenor y es una chulada pero creo que preferiria una yamaha tambien
Aldo! Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it for the right purchase right now!
I'm happy!

probably each instrument is better in a different repertoire, and with a differrent player
Very interessting, many thanks, it seems , that Zen-on sounds the best, or do you have a different Impression from hearing it live?
it is difficult to decide, yamaha has a sound more clear, zen-on more warm, aulos more strong

yamaha ha un condotto dell'aria più sottile, aulos più ampio, ma così consuma più aria

el sonido de la yamaha es lo mas claro, de l'aulos es lo mas fuerte, de la zen-on es lo mas "antiguo", para mi
lo Yamaha è più bello esteticamente
