Remember playing an old brown plastic, grubby and dubiously ‘un-hygienic’ recorder during your early school days? ‘Frère Jacques’, ‘Three Blind Mice’, ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ etc. You will be glad to hear, literally, that musical times have changed!
Recorders are much better now; precision production techniques, more resilient ABS resin compound and an improved note production and tone. Plus, you can buy them in many beautiful colours, including brown! If you are lucky enough to have an adventurous teacher, you may play tunes by Mozart, Dvorak, ‘Harry Potter’ or Ed Sheeran??
A-Star is born!
I challenge you to find a more affordable, quality recorder on the market!
The hugely popular and attractive
A-Star descant recorder is ideal for schools and individuals. Available in traditional beige, red, blue and purple, and the
prestige range in brown and white. They produce a nice warm tone with perfectly positioned finger holes and come complete with a cleaning rod, fingering chart and in a plastic, protective case. Manufactured from ‘easy to clean’ ABS resin and a three-piece construction, they are excellent value for money, especially if you buy them in packs of 10 or 30. Let the music begin!
Aulos
The Aulos philosophy is that quality matters. Getting off on the right foot can sometimes mean the difference between a child enjoying and excelling or being frustrated and thus uninterested.
Aulos have over 50 years of producing recorders. They are made using an almost indestructible ABS plastic with precision sectional joints and mouthpiece. The
Aulos 303N Descant recorder has a wonderful, warm tone and distinctive design. Complete with thumb rest, carrying case, cleaning rod and fingering chart, they are perfect for education and individual use.
