Yamaha YRS-402B Soprano Recorder, Ecodear plastic, Key of C

Yamaha YRS-402B Soprano Recorder, Ecodear plastic, Key of C

Q: Does this have an arched windway?

The windway is slightly arched. I can't really tell that it makes much difference in the sound.

Q: why it is out of pitch in C and fluctuated like a wistle sound?

Mine is spot on (with an extremely sensitive StroboPlus tuner), but only if I am careful about being relaxed, keeping my cheeks full of air, not blowing too fast or too much pressure, keeping the instrument almost level, and not too full of condensation. Best bets: (1) Air speed. Recorders are finicky about air speed. Blow too fast and the tone will sound sharp. Much too fast and the recorder will jump to the next octave and be sharp at that, and can even seem like a whistle with a bead in it. (2) Improper position. Too low and the air speed increases. Same result. (3) Condensation or other obstruction in airway. This can also cause the air to speed up to get past the obstruction. (3) One finger is almost, but not quite, in position, changing pitch as the finger pressure changes slightly. With everything perfect, and a sensitive tuner, you can watch your tone rise and fall as your air speed and pressure change. It's a good exercise to vary your air slightly from a bit low to a bit high, and watch the tone respond. Do this with every note and you will find out quickly if something is wrong with the instrument. More likely, you will find that your tone is completely in your control.

Q: Anyone else having a problem with a mold odor with this recorder?

That can happen with any wind instrument (but I believe especially a plastic or metal instrument such a recorder and Irish whistle) if it is put back into the case wet. It has to be swabbed out and left out of its case to dry or put into a well-ventilated case until dry. If it happens, washing with soap and water and rinsing well is the remedy for plastic models.

Q: How does the recorder handle upper register notes on the second octave?

I enjoy the tone I get from this soprano recorder. I’ve been playing the recorder for quite a few years so I have no problems with tone of high notes. It’s a recorder I enjoy playing and have in my collection.
