It was noted that the yamaha tenor lacks in the upper register Is there a more fully rounded tenor recorder in this price range?

No,the only other recorder we sell is the Adler Tenor recorder, which sells for $159.99. Thanks Lina.

There may be some alto recorders with slightly closer holes, but in general, recorder hole spacings are proportional to the instrument's length, I would say this recorder is average for an alto --- I have had Adler, Yamaha, and Aulus tenor recorders, for instance, and after playing the alto, you really do have to stretch your fingers to get to the holes on the tenor, which becomes second nature after about two weeks. Just keep practicing, your fingers and hands will adjust in no time to this alto.

It's easy to play this instrument. Professional help is good but it's not necessary. You can go on YouTube and watch video of people playing the notes or you can google to get the pictorial view of all the notes on the recorder. I hope my response help with your decision.

This is tuned to a = 440. I have never seen a plastic recorder tuned to 415. That kind of instrument is usually made to order and is quite expensive. This Yamaha Tenor recorder is a fine instrument and is in tune from top to bottom.

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).

As an adult with a musical background, I have not used the Yamaha Education Suite. However, I would highly recommend the Yamaha YPG-535 keyboard as a beginner's tool (if the student will stick with it, as it is a little costly). There are many features to help a beginner learn such as the built in metronome, the play along features, and the recording option. Best wishes to you in your final decision.

have no idea, why would that make a difference. i like everything about the organ except the pre-selected songs that they selected. yamaha makes superior products

I have short, stubby fingers, and the bass is easier for me to play than the Yamaha tenor is. I can't play the basses that you blow into to the top because my arms just aren't long enough, but I have no problem with this one. I just measured my hand span with a ruler, from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my little finger, with my hand spread, and it's 8". It seems like a little bit shorter would be ok too. Hope that helps. Good luck!

It all depends on the software you use with it. It comes with a free version of Serrato that does not let you record your performance. You can update to the full version for a fee. I chose to purchase CrossDJ which has sampling ability and a LOT more.

There are better options, it is a handy recorder and many functions, you are limited to one track at a time and bouncing is time consuming. If all you want is to record live performances or use as a quick writing tool, for the price it is good, it downloads in WAV format so it is a little outdated, but very portable, hope this helped.

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

no, because the recorder noes not have its own tuner. you will need to buy a recorder with the tuner at about $500 to $600.

Hi ChrisI see that others have already given you the specs. I play this recorder nearly every day. I had to train my hands at first to get the low notes and prevent leaking. Now after a couple of months I can play it with ease, but it is a very large instrument and does strain your hands.

The tenor has a deeper tone. I like the sound of it better. I also like the size.

Hello. I have an Oscar Schmidt OU4 tenor which measures 27 inches from stem to stern, and 17 and a bit along the length of the vibrating part of the strings. I also have a Kamoa Tenor uke with the same dimensions. I'm guessing that 23 inch is a concert. I recently got my Kamoa and very impressed. A spruce top and maple sides and back give it a warm sweet resonance. The Oscar Schmidt is a bit brighter and a little harsher sounding. Check out this website for sizing http://ukulelehunt.com/buy-ukulele/tips/which-size-ukulele/. Also look at the Kamoa website. Typically can get better pricing from local dealers. Good luck!
