has anyone compared this with the Yamaha YRS24B series ivory-colored models? Is this exactly the same, or different in feel and tone?

Yes, and I prefer these ones. I used to perform in a recorder ensemble, and we used the white ones for performances, only because they looked a little more authentic. The sound is the same and they are otherwise interchangeable. I like the colored ones better, because they are so much more fun! I have one of each color.

Not sure, but many of the kids in my children's music class used the school's recorders and they where white. I bought my twins a blue and a green recorder so they'd have their own. They liked them very much.

I had an ivory colored one a long time ago, and to me, the tone and feel is pretty similar. This one feels perhaps a bit cheaper, but I was really impressed at the quality of this, having expected it to to feel and sound very cheap. Hope that helps!

If you want to measure your Yamaha, I can compare them to my Seagull Acoustic S6 to see if they are similar?

I have had the X4000 for about two months now and I am very happy with it. I have not heard the Yamaha unit so I can not speak for that. I am using Infinity speakers in a 7.1 setup and it sounds awesome and gets very loud when I want it to. I use it mostly for movies.

depends what you owned previously, I owned SR 80 previously and I went to test both of them before I bought it.my ears trained for SR 80, and when I tested SR 225i , immediately I can hear the difference, mainly in sound staging and basswhen I tested SR 325i, I found my self trying so hard to find the different, there are few but not very subtle to my ear ... maybe after using SR 225i for few months / years I can feel it !I listened to acoustic guitars (artist: Jubing Kristianto) and I love how much clarity it feels compare to SR 80and I believe for Blues, you will definitely feel the bass, solid yet soft and far from muddy depends what you owned previously, I owned SR 80 previously and I went to test both of them before I bought it.my ears trained for SR 80, and when I tested SR 225i , immediately I can hear the difference, mainly in sound staging and basswhen I tested SR 325i, I found my self trying so hard to find the different, there are few but not very subtle to my ear ... maybe after using SR 225i for few months / years I can feel it !I listened to acoustic guitars (artist: Jubing Kristianto) and I love how much clarity it feels compare to SR 80and I believe for Blues, you... » Read More depends what you owned previously, I owned SR 80 previously and I went to test both of them before I bought it.my ears trained for SR 80, and when I tested SR 225i , immediately I can hear the difference, mainly in sound staging and basswhen I tested SR 325i, I found my self trying so hard to find the different, there are few but not very subtle to my ear ... maybe after using SR 225i for few months / years I can feel it !I listened to acoustic guitars (artist: Jubing Kristianto) and I love how much clarity it feels compare to SR 80and I believe for Blues, you will definitely feel the bass, solid yet soft and far from muddy « Show Less

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.

The one we bought has never been played. It's the most complicated thing we've ever purchased. I wouldn't get one again even if it was given to me. We ended up with a regular Yamaha. Works great!

I bought it as a beginner and really enjoy it, even now. It is good quality and produces a good tone. The sound is not "professionally" good, but will definitely do for learning as a beginner. The wood is good and sturdy, not to mention the appeal of it is great. Hope I helped!!!

I bought both. I did not like the Yamaha GL1 so I gave it away as a gift. The problem I had with the Yamaha was the width of the neck. It seemed very wide. Felt like I was playing a 12 string or a very wide neck Spanish guitar. So if you like a wide neck the Yamaha would be the one, the Cordoba worked better for me as the neck was smaller and seemed easier to play. I hope that helps

dear Sir,we asked and read tons of reviews before we bought the Yamaha, which is for our son, who was 8 at that time. His piano teacher recommended better this brand, from her experience. the piano sounds great and my son enjoys playing it. hope this helps.

I have not tried the Yamaha. My kids are avid musicians and they prefer the Ovation line for their sound quality, action and electronics.

I don't know about the Yamaha NS-SP1800BL system, but my Yamaha NS-BR300/NS-B285/NS-SW280 system is probably the biggest $450 mistake that I ever made. I've had it for a month now and I still can't get it to sound really good regardless of what I do with it. I do know that I'm done screwing around with it. I've read enough in this CNET product review to know that I'll probably replace the Yamaha system with the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system within the next couple of months. Good luck with your search.

Hello SB, I believe that you are right. My red one is longer than the black one, but I did not notice any difference between the 2 when it came to resonance or sound quality.

Oh I'm sorry. I though tthis was for a different one. I got the 24 K gold one. That one was a better quality. It was only 99 but now its 300. This one is nice, but....the saxophone broke off the chain after a month or so. I tried getting a new one and then I didn't bother when i got the real gold one.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck
