It features very accurate intonation. Box Contains With cotton case, neck strap, fingering chart, recorder cream and cleaning rod Review: Great instrument at a good price. Love it. - Excellent instrument for a beginner. Good solid tone but demands good breath control in the lower register. Well it is a recorder ie wind instrument so part of the learning curve. It is supplied with a support strap but the instrument is light enough not to need it. Review: Yamaha quality, excellent value. - Many years ago I struggled with the bass recorder in a school group and even though I was by then an accomplished player of other instruments, I just couldn't seem to get the hang of that bass. In retrospect, of course, I came to realize that in this case the instrument was partly to blame - it leaked, it whistled and buzzed - in short it had been very badly maintained over many years and it was well past its best. Anyway, for many years I've wondered what it would be like to play a 'decent' bass recorder and after getting some advice from those who know about these things I opted for the Yamaha. In all honesty I'm amazed how easy this instrument is to play and how well it sounds. Ok, I know I'm not new to the instrument and I'm proficient on the tenor recorder, but for what this instrument costs, to have no leaks, whistles and buzzes and to get good tone all the way down to a bottom F from the first time of playing, represents high quality and superb value for money. Also this instrument comes with a superb canvas case. I know it's been criticized in other reviews but I found that if I re-packed the parts of the instrument in exactly the way I first found them they fitted in snugly and securely with some room to spare for odds and ends. On the whole I have to say I'm very pleased with this instrument - I'm impressed with its quality and with its value and I have no hesitation in recommending it highly. ## Features - In f - Baroque system - Abs resin - 4 piece construction - F/f sharp double keys.

We include a 2 year guarantee with the YRB-302II Bass Recorder.We hope this helps; please feel free to contact us directly if you'd like any information or have any questions.Best wishes,Yamaha Music **Q: I notice that this recorder weighs 1.74kg. This appears to be more than other brands. Is this a particularly heavy instrument?** A: I've not played many different basses, but the Yamaha doesn't seem particularly heavy to me. Anyway, you have a neck-strap, so none of the weight is taken by your hands or arms. Unless you are splashing out on an expensive wooden instrument, this appears to be the most popular plastic bass . I recommend it. **Q: How do you wipe out the mouthpiece after playing when the cleaning rod supplied won't go round the knick bend?** A: My wife-Maz!- who has the Yamaha recorder- Model 302BII - says the recorder is jointed at the end of the mouth piece section so it is a straight line to the mouthpiece and the neck joint tube can be cleaned from either end. Hope that helps. **Q: Is this standard 440 pitch please rather than baroque pitch? Hopefully the ‘baroque’ in the description refers only to fingering. Thanks!** A: My wife, a music graduate and a member of a recorder group, tells me that this Yamaha YRB30211 is standard A440 pitch and standard fingering. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great instrument at a good price. Love it. *by S***N on 9 September 2025* Excellent instrument for a beginner. Good solid tone but demands good breath control in the lower register. Well it is a recorder ie wind instrument so part of the learning curve. It is supplied with a support strap but the instrument is light enough not to need it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha quality, excellent value. *by A***N on 13 May 2019* Many years ago I struggled with the bass recorder in a school group and even though I was by then an accomplished player of other instruments, I just couldn't seem to get the hang of that bass.

Firstly, even after using the supplied grease to the head to mid section joint, it is impossible to detach without gently "warming" the area. No problem with the foot to mid section. Asked in Yamaha store how to remedy, but as it is resin it is difficult. Didn't know the answer, but maybe (guesswork) a little, but obviously very careful, abrasion. I have not tried this out yet. A fellow player has also recently acquired the same instrument and experiencing a similar problem. Secondly, while the tone on most notes is very good, I find it somewhat thin on low B. Overall, I still think my purchase was good value for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha YRB302II Bass Recorder - The Bass Recorder Handbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50521269-yrb302ii-bass-recorder](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50521269-yrb302ii-bass-recorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
