The Yamaha YRA‑314BIII is a refined alto (treble) recorder designed for advanced students and performing musicians. Part of Yamaha’s 300-series ABS resin line, it models the classic Rottenburgh body with a simulated Makassar ebony finish, offering the look of wood alongside the durability of plastic.
Thanks to its arched windway, the recorder offers subtle breath resistance, improving dynamic control and enabling a more expressive tone. Its sound is warm and focused, comparable to wooden instruments, while shopping out the need for maintenance or concerns about humidity.
It typically comes with a cotton case, fingering chart, recorder cream, and cleaning rod.
