Aulos 509B "Symphony" Series Treble Recorder - Ideal for Advancing & Enthusicatic Students - Classic Dark Brown/Ivory ABS Construction - Baroque Classic Fingering.

I bought this for my wife who plays. She is a grade 6 player and her old Yamaha was playing flat and clogging (it did last 15 years). I'd looked into getting a high quality replacement and the obvious choices in ABS were Yamaha and Aulos. After some thought we settled on Aulos and it has now been a couple weeks since purchase and not disappointed. Assembly is 3 piece as standard, with cleaning pipe and chord book, and storage is a leather bag, approx 30cm. When played, this is comfortable for my wife albeit my hands are just too big for this (XL in glove size if that helps). It plays the ranges nicely, no flat spots. Clogging is not an issue at all. Only cleared it once between songs, whereas the Yamaha would need to be cleared 4-5 times and always fail on that really critical note! Overall, given the pricing and the stylings too, you cannot go wrong with this. It plays well and in the hands of someone who can play, really lovely music can be heard.

This is a good recorder for intermediate players. Easy to play, in tune, easy to wash out under a tap. I love it.

I have several treble recorders and this is my favourite as it sounds nice and does not clog as easily. I have the aulos Haka which sounds more rustic

Really pleased with this recorder. It has a nice tone. You do need to purchase a cleaner in addition to this although it comes with note chart and small pot of grease and stick for putting a piece of material through to enable drying out the recorder if you wish.

A good quality Treble recorder delivered on time . Also own an equally good Tenor version from Aulos.

Very nice recorder

In my experience, this Aulos recorder has a warm tone, but I find that it is over-prone to condensation, even in a room kept at 21 degrees centigrade and with humidity at or below 60%, After 20-25 minutes, the condensation distorts the notes played, and then the recorder needs disassembling and drying out. Low note stability can be poor, highest notes sound rather thin to me.

So I might look like a div in this picture but don't I look happy?! That's because I asked for ad received this recorder for an Xmas gift and I'm so pleased. I'm a music teacher by trade so have heard many many cheap recorders... Recorder isn't my first instrument but I enjoyed playing while at school. I was very lucky as my y6 teacher taught me F fingering as my hands are too small for the larger tenor recorder. I wanted a treble recorder for under £50 that sounded lovely, but was kind and patient with my rusty playing. I took advice not to buy wooden and am eased with this instrument. It came in case with cleaning stick, joint grease and a thumb rest which helps. Im no longer teaching as I became disabled. I'm unable to hold up my clarinet now so am VERY PLEASED with thumb rest and the instrument's light weight....yet it feels far from a school recorder! Despite me being rusty the sound is lovely. A fat round sound and even the upper register sounds good. Really pleased! 🎶 Would recomend!
