What is the difference in these recorders: YRT-304B and YRT-304BII? (both are Yamaha Tenors). Thanks.

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 there. I got this one to replace an old model. I am a full time musician and I use this device as practice tool and a demo recording device. You'd even record complex 8 track pieces if you'd use it with Amplitube's studio for an iPad.It sounds great for a tiny and fairly in expensive sound device like this.I would suggest you to go for a newer model though.It will cost you about 40$ more but it has Midi and other features, I would go for it myself if I wouldn't have this one.P.S. The only minus of these devises compare to they cheaper predecessor is that you can't change your iPhone or an iPad while recording or practicing. Keep in mind that the apps for these devices are power consuming. Hope it helps. Hello there. I got this one to replace an old model.

Rec0mmend y0u try an0ther make - this was a fl0p, even with an Akai unit. (s0rry - keyb0ard's "0" is in0perative). Wasted h0urs trying all 0pti0ns. Seller did n0t want it back - tells y0u a l0t ab0ut their pr0duct. G00d luck.

for recording definitely. especially for the price. for performing i've never had a problem. one draw could be that it doesn't have an on/off switch, but i actually prefer that. it's a rugged little gem that sounds great. i might suggest that because you're a female vocalist and you feel your "voice is not powerful" you might want to save a little more and get the e935. i hear it's better for female vocals. but who know's.

Sorry, ALL Alto recorders are in the key of F. The Tenor model is in F. The full range looks like this: Sopranino - F Soprano - C Alto - F Tenor - C Bass - F

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.

The Yamaha YRT-304B comes with a case made of stout cloth. Mine has lasted for three years of fairly heavy use and shows no signs of wear. If you have an SAT recorder set, I'd suggest a cheap hard-case briefcase into which you put plastic foam to keep the instruments from rattling around.

This is an improved version. Better recording quality especially for music. Also has 3 mics to improve versatility. It bought mine refurbished. Works perfectly. Dr Ron.

Never purchase a recorder that does not have a tuner. Sony has one like that. Buy the Panasonice model. It is the best.

I can only speak for myself. I found a significant difference between the sound of the pre-amp in my Yamaha receiver and the Bellari. I should also state that a new, better tube and power supply made a good difference as well. It is also dependent upon the cartridge you are using. I have a Blue Point and a Pickering. An audiophile friend states that the Ortofon is a good choice as well.

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.

Haven't used a Yamaha in a long time. In general I think Mackies are priced higher with fewer features but I won't buy anything else. Mackie makes a great and reliable product, it's hard to go wrong unless you need more features for the dollar.

One is a newer release of the olderversion. I couldn't firgure out the changes. The older was a lot cheaper. I bought it and love it. Of course I've got a great Yamaha receiver.

Well when I was looking for a receiver I asked the same question to a tech who said to consider Yamaha as an authority in sound reproduction as they are known for best choice for musicians from keyboards to speakers they are the best and so it shows the same high quality in their receivers. I purchased a 7.1 reciver and I am very happy with the sound quality. Hope this helps

It's the dvd recording technology -R was developed by Pioneer the other by DVD Forum long time ago it mattered what equipment you had whether it was for -R or +R but now the machines (computers dvd recorders etc) can record & play back any of the two, same quality same speed, myself I've used both nowadays i go for the cheaper one, hopefully I've answered your question.

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.
