Yamaha YRS-402B Baroque Soprano/Descant Recorder

The YRS-402B is made from plant-derived Ecodear plastic - making this the world’s first application of environmentally-friendly plant based material in a musical instrument.

Improved instrument performance

The change in material has resulted in a mellow, centred tone that is similar to that of wooden recorders, plus improved breath response and high-register control.

Newly adopted plant-inspired colours

Bright colours invoking the image of plants such as corn have been used in the recorders and cases for the first time.

Arched windway

It has a slight resistance when you play for better breath control which gives greater tonal expressivity and projection.

Case

Our new natural-fibre cloth cases do not contain or produce any hazardous substances when disposed of or burned.
