Is the Yamaha YRA-312B Alto Recorder, Key of F Baroque of German fingering?

The Baroque fingering can easily be recognised by the larger finger hole for F (soprano), B-flat (alto) in comparison to a German fingered instrument

My understanding is that either fingering method can be used with this recorder. It comes with a fingering chart.

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.

The mouthpieces I received were marked "7C," which is pretty typical of any stock mouthpiece. Just generic models without any other markings on them. They're likely identical to a standard Bach size, but honestly if you're playing one of these pocket trumpets it probably won't matter :)

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!

Yes. There were German instructions with the one I purchased, but the English version was on the other side.It is actually very easy to use, and I can type the instructions for anyone who needs them. You can re-record as many times as you need.

The YRS 24-B is tuned to 442, so if you want to play it with a standard 440 tuned instrument (i. e. Guitar, Piano) it sounds sharp, and terrible. The tone this produces is better also. I recommend the Aulos personally, it is slightly easier to hit the highest notes, but this is a good sounding recorder, and is in tune with other instruments at 440 MHz. I carry both this and an Aulos in my Music accessory bag. Both have a curved windway as well, which helps the tone and ease of hitting the upper register. Definitely worth it.

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

No, it has no oboe fingering option. It only has 3 sax style and 1 flute style.

I am not certain, but I have had an issue with the sound of the piano as it fades out. The sound becomes very sharp no matter what "voice" I use. It is really irritating and I haven't gotten responses from Korg after several emails to them.

According to Yamaha's website: the YRS312B "There are versions of the YRS-301Ⅲ and YRS-302Ⅲ with a finish resembling that of high grade rosewood recorders." vs. the YRS314B "The YRS-301Ⅲ and YRS-302BⅢ with a finish similar to Makassar Ebony recorders." I hope this is of use ...

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.

From reading the customer reviews, it says that the YRA-312 is a reddish brown ( rosewood) simulated woodgrain finish, while YRA-314 is a lighter brown woodgrain finish. I have the reddish color and just think it's pretty and looks classy. it's a great recorder ( both). Try buying the "Sweet Pipes" Vol. 1 and 2 ( when you can find it ) for learning one note at a time, then practicing several short tunes using just the notes you have learned.

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

Hello Shed,I dont use many of the function on this keyboard other than straight piano and some organ voices. I use a Boss RC3 Guitar pedal to record layers as I am primarily a guitar player. On that, Im not having any problems whatsoever.

I use the alto head on a concert flute body to give me the richer tone of the recorder and the versatility of the flutes keys. RecorderFlute?

No, it as well as the alto recorder are F instruments. The Soprano and Tenor are C instruments, different octaves. Hope this helps.
