Is the fingering German or Baroque on this recorder?

Baroque. Double holes on 6 and 7. German fingering is for singles on 6 and 7.

My understanding is that the second right-hand finger hole is larger in Baroque, and so I would say yes, this is Baroque fingering.

Classical. Some Mozart, some Bach. All good quality recordings, piano is the dominant instrurumemt.

Yes. This recorder is perfect for beginners. You don't need a colledge degree to read the instructions. I love it.

Outstanding!!! I've bought many recorders and this one is the best one. I still use it today. The others were more expensive and a lot less quality. Happy for you.

The hole placement is standard. A soprano recorder is smaller, so the fingers would be placed closer together. However, the soprano plays in a different key than the alto. You would have to learn that fingering.

There is a built-in recording device, although I have not yet used it. In addition, the USB connects to a computer, and there is software included for recording to a computer. I simply have not had time yet to use these features. I'm old-school and transcribe melody by hand!

Mine was made in Germany. I purchased this to replace a stolen E11. The only difference is this one has nickel plated keys and not silver which is fine with me because I was constantly cleaning the keys. I am primarily a bassoonist but occasionally need to play clarinet. This model has met all me needs and intonation has been good.

the Q4, so far for me, has recorded various types of music nicely. i've not had the opportunity to record anything "classical/symphonic" yet. the key to getting a good recording with the Q4 is picking the appropriate setting on the Three-position MIC GAIN switch...either AUTO or manual, H - High sensitivity (for &#64257;eld recording), M - Medium sensitivity (for solo and chamber music performances) or L - Low sensitivity (for band performances and concerts).

I don't know. But I have to say that it is a SHOCKINGLY nice violin. The sound quality and resonance are so beautiful it totally knocked our socks off. My sons violin teacher could not believe it was so cheap. Really, it is a very nice instrument. The sound is very rich. I am impressed. I would recommend it to anyone.

No idea, but it sounds like a really, really cool recorder! That being said it records from my very low fidelity iMac and plays on other computers and on my very low end Insigna DVR. Perhaps buy a small pack from office depot or ?, try and find out. Good luck.

There is nothing unusual about the hole placement on this alto. I have played several and they are all about the same. I also play the tenor which is difficult to pick up and play if I haven't warmed up a bit first. Want some fun? Yamaha also makes a sopranino and it is SMALLER than the normal soprano recorder. It reads the same notation as the alto.

Hi Chris,Fingering wise, I'd say this the most uncomfortable yamaha recorder to play. You need to stretch your fifth finger on the right hand and you'll have problem if you got small hands. Having said that this recorder has the best sound between other yamaha recorders. I own and play all of them. I came across a factory shop website in us where they add a pedal to this recorder to make playing easier. I'm sure you can find em if you search.Cheers!Pejman

This is a baroque recorder, and it is an aqua color, which is beautiful but not a true blue.

I don't know if there is any difference from a musical standpoint. The finish is different (312 is a rosewood finish and 314 is an ebony finish). Other than that, I believe they are the same.However, I will say that they Yamaha alto recorder gives a nice sound.

I'm not a musician, bought a Yamaha Alto recorder (YRA-312B Key 'F') for my daughter. Are Alto recorders available in any key other than 'F'? All the Yamaha Alto recorders that I manage to find online as well as on Yamaha catalogue "OM84R3_recorders_eu.pdf" are in Key 'F'. So not the most appropriate answer for your question but key 'F' may be the only available option.

The instruments are similar in size; most soprano recorders are slightly longer and larger around than a "D" tin whistle. They are fingered differently, but the differences are not difficult to master. Because of the larger size, the finger holes on a recorder are generally slightly further apart than a tin whistle. In tone, the recorder is a little bit more reed-like and the tin whistle is a little more flute-like. I enjoy playing both for different types of settings.

Karen: Both the YRT-304B and the YRT-304BII tenors uses the Baroque fingering system. Both are made out of ABS Resin. The differences are that the YRT-304B is for beginners and has a straight windway straight, and usually have less resistance making it easier to play while the YRT-304BII has is curved has has more resistance making harder to play. If the price is the same I would suggest that you buy the YRT-304B tenor recorder. Gerard Remillard
