- A new Yamaha alto came yesterday. It is a plastic instrument, but its sound is very good. Here is my trial performance with this instrument.
Please take a look at another (newer) performance by this Yamaha: Mozart, Sonata K 292, by 2 recorders.
However, despite the good sound, this instrument has a defect also: clogging is heavier than others, e.g., Aulos (plastic) and wood instruments. It may take a longer time in order to tame this instrument!
Thank u! Awesooome to find someone else playing shakuhachi repertoire on the recorder! 💛💛💛
Very useful video. I bought the flute.
The Japanese music (Rokudan) was the most enjoyable part.
Japanese repertoire for wind instruments is so rich and beautiful!!
This is amazing! Can you please tell me where to find sheet music for this theme?
Thank you. It’s a beautiful sound. I like the hint of hollowness.
Nice playing. This is the recorder I was thinking about getting...until you mentioned the clogging. Is it a condensation issue perhaps? Are you still having this issue with the instrument? Thanks, good reviews are hard to come by and there's no way to try it out before buying it.
Depending on your own experience (with recorder), this drawback can be overcome if you warm the instrument well enough!
@@soshichiuchii Ok that makes sense. I'm just getting started with recorder actually. I've only just played around a little on a cheap German fingering soprano recorder. I gained an interest in the alto recorder after watching several videos and I just ordered the YRA-402B last night! Looking forward to getting started learning! Thanks for your input!
@@cobyup10 Aaand? What can you say about 402-B today?
It does get clogged a lot. I use a hot water bottle to warm it up before use then it's fine for a while. Then I keep alternating between different recorders (all resin Yamaha) so that they can get heated up again by the water bag. You can also get an electric bag instead. It really takes the work out of warming up the instrument.
It looks and sounds so gorgeous! Thank you!
I own it as well, I just noticed it gets clogged up a lot faster than my other plastic altos
Yes, that's true. But the cause is clear: the windway is narrower (e.g., in comparison with Autos alto). However, if you tame the instrument, say, a few months, and try to warm it before your performance, the problem should disappear.
great playing! what’s the book used in the video?
I have this recorder plus the descant one. Love them both.
what sheet music did you learn the Rokudan theme from? I'm trying to source it for Alto Recorder
That sounds beautiful
So beautiful
The same product, a very dissimilar tone!
The issue must have been me myself!😂
First, long tone, control your breathing. Second, tonguing, soft, tough, speedy, double and triple. Third, relax; your fingers, hands, arms, and body!
당신의 연주는 가끔 사람의 연주를 넘어선 것 같아요. 당신과 당신의 쌍둥이가 연주한 Bach도 사랑합니다.🌿🍃🌱
Very Beautiful! Thanks.
I'm leaning towards buying a Yamaha over the Aulos in a plastic alto, and I would wonder if you have compared this 402b to one of the 300 series Yamaha altos? From listening, it seems the 402b is towards the airy/flutey sound of the Aulos, but not as strong in that direction, so it might really be a great compromise, between the more focused tone of the 300's and the breathy, many harmonics (?) tone of the Aulos. Does that make sense?
Nearly 40 years ago, I was totally disappointed by Yamaha plastic recorders. Then I met Aulos Symphony series some 10 years ago and liked them (kleine sopranino, sopraino, soprano, and alto). And a couple of years ago I tried Yamaha 402b, because a famous pro-player recommended it. I liked its sound; I never tried 300 series, because of my unplesant memories. Now I have found Zenon Bressan model (A=415); although it is expensive, it is a very good instrument. That's all I can say.
@@soshichiuchii YAMAHA 300 Series = As for me, they are by far THE best resin recorders I have ever tried/played
@@robfox5670 Come on! I never said Iwas disappointed by 300 series! I said I never tried this series. I was talking about a story of 40 years ago.
I have a Aulos sopranino so I can't say direct comparsion, but my Yamaha ecodears sounds less plastic than than the Aulos sopranino
