Like all Yamaha 300-series recorders, the YRB-302B Bass recorder in the key of F is a step-up instrument designed for advanced players. This recorder has an arched windway to produce a slight resistance that gives you better breath control and allows you to play with more expression. In addition, the angled neck and extended keys on the lowest notes make this large recorder more comfortable to play.

This piece of engineered resin emits pleasing rich sonorous tones. Built to Quality finish. Comes in a smart canvass carrycase (unlike the vinyl shown). Am very happy with its amazing performance in both tonality and volume. Easy to play. Even with my limited recorder background (but some music experience), I could play it immediately. It is lightweight, the thumb rest keeps it balanced and the neck strap invaluable. The gooseneck facilitates a more relaxed RH wrist positioning improving dexterity and right thumbrest invaluable. My handspan is only 20cm but everything is within reach quite comfortably. Most adults will find the Bass already playable unlike the Tenor (ironically the widest) which requires modifications to improve reach. Hard to put it down initially after it came out of the box. I have an old wooden descant and this new pc of plastic manages to simulate the sound of wood surprisingly well. For a similar quality wood, I would have to outlay at least 2-5x more. Whether teenager or adult, I believe it's playability is going to encourage a longterm love affair with this family of recorders. Great for bass-rich Louis Armstrong repertoires like "What a wonderful world", "Blueberry hill" or more modern pieces etc. Compared to its smaller tubed family members, this does require more air volume throughput (for beginners) and I found myself initially quickly running out of puff, however, the body quickly adjusts overtime to this. Low resistance playability (fipple versus reed) compared to other brass instruments. Note: May need amplification depending on application. (as in, do not expect the same volume output as its metal counterparts) However the Tenor trumps it marginally and remains my favourite solo instrument - not a great amount of repertoire for the Bass (in F key) unlike the Tenor (in C key). Amazing bargain new from amazon.com at $259 plus shipping compared to RRP$599 in oz though most are discounted to circa $449-499 mark. This ranks amongst my best purchase experiences. Ordered it on Jan 31 fr US. Received it first thing on Feb 4 in Oz. Impeccable packaging and best of all. The product exceeded all my expectations. Well done Yamaha! And Amazon for facilitating.

I now own the Yamaha 302 series in Alto, Tenor, and Bass. My favorite is the Tenor, because it is a good compromise between shrillness and breath control. The Alto has a nice woody sound and is quite playable. My only other Alto is a wooden Gill, the difference between them is mostly that the Yamaha wets up more quickly and can be de - wetted more quickly. The wooden Gill plays longer but once it is done, it is done for a while. The Tenor is really my favorite of the Yamaha 302's, you can play it a bit longer before it wets up than the Alto or Bass. I have another Tenor, a wooden one of unknown origin, that is a little trickier to play - and once again, the wooden one lasts a little longer before it becomes to wet to play, but once that happens, you can't just clean it with a swab and blow out the Labium to make it instantly playable again like you can with the Yamaha. The Bass, to play it well, it is more about breath control than fingering. It takes a lot of air at exactly the right pressure, to make the notes sound. The fingerings for the bass are sometimes a little different than the other two. The low G can be hard to sound without harmonics creeping in, and the notes over high C - well I just checked the fingering chart and found I've been trying to finger them wrong, so never mind... I have no wooden Bass to compare this with. I like to just sit and improvise with these instruments. They sound pretty good for plastic. I would give them all five stars, considering the price and the playability. I never even tried to play a high D on my wooden Tenor, on this one it is possible.

I mean, you can't go wrong with a Yamaha if you're looking for quality plastic recorders at reasonable prices. This basett has a nice rich sound, although it does require much more breath control than a smaller recorder to get a nice sound (this is something with all makes of basett, however). The neck can also get condensation rattle quickly, but that's just the nature of crick neck plastics. The upper registers are EXTREMELY stable and remarkably easy to hit; much more so than my other plastic Yamahas. They can get a little chiffy, though, which is why I mentioned breath control. There is some key-click, too, if you're not careful. All in all, the best entry-level basett money can buy.

The missing 5th star is because I did not realize that the fingering would be so different. It has great playability, but if you are switching back and forth between this and an alto the fingering is interesting to say the least. The fingering is actually different than the chart included with it, which is just like the standard F instruments but to get the right pitch you have to hunt around for some alternate fingering. That said, It is actually EASIER to play than my Alto, and the tone is so much mellower than the higher pitched instruments, but it IS taking some getting used to. Other than that, I really LIKE it! I had borrowed one like it, and did not recall the fingering issue, but remembered that I HAD to have this type as all the others that I tried were impossible for my hands to manipulate smoothly, though I would dearly love to have a wood. You will not be sorry you purchased this sweet machine. Yamaha may be the "entry level" choice in many instruments, but they do have consistency and great quality for the dollars spent. Oh, and I do think they could have made the thumb rest/strap holder knob more comfortable.

I bought this to use in a university ensemble. The university owns a wooden bass (which would cost about $3000 to replace) but this one plays so much more easily and louder. It articulates very well on the low notes and is reasonably ergonomic - we have found it most comfortable to play off to the side like a sax with the included neckstrap. One caveat, the joint that connects the head to the body is SUPER tight and got stuck on more than one occasion. The problem was solved with judicious use of light sand paper.
