I love, it’s really good, good material.

I bought this Eastar Soprano Recorder to replace my long serving but lost Alder Soprano instrument, which I had for 43 years. It arrived in a timely manner, safely packaged (I found the lost one a week after I received the new one). In comparing the two instruments, this Eastar instrument has more body to its tone. Its higher register is cleaner without the tendency to drop register. It is easy to play. The third piece (lower end of the recorder) is nice in that it allows adjustment for finger size, which the Alder did not. The Alder instrument was Pear wood, while the Eastar is Maple. It comes in a nice lined, hinged plastic case with a cleaning swab and cork grease. I was concerned that I would not like the tone of the Maple one, but it sounds great. Time will tell, as to it serviceability, but for now I am very pleased.

This is a nice quality instrument, for the price. It includes a fingering chart and a couple of beginner songs. The case is nice but could have been better quality, it is difficult to open. Overall a very nice product its 100% wood

Sounds great. This is a C recorder. Comes in a nice case, cleaning brush and joint grease. Detaches for easy cleaning and for storage. Can't beat the price.

Great beginner recorder! My third grade daughter loves it and it sounds better than the cheaper plastic recorders.

Just starting to learn the recorder but this one is better than what we had. The recorder comes with a nice case some cork grease and a cleaning rod. It has a wood inlay in the mouth piece. Tuned it and the notes played were accurate on the tuner.

I am working at home during the pandemic. The recorder has a nice sound quality, and though it does take some getting use to, has proved easy to learn. I do recommend turning the last piece so your little finger can more easily cover the holes. I am enjoying having the recorder and using it as a diversion. Adding music to my day has been a great add. You should try this one!

I bought this recorder for my daughter to give to her dad on Father's Day as part of a gift that would give for the whole year. The quality is wonderful and makes a much richer sound than the plastic ones we have. The bottom bell portion does move to fit the litter pinky position. Also included is wax, a cleaning brush, and some music theory. The hard case makes for safe storage. This recorder provides great value for the money!

You all had a recorder at some point. As did I. Some plastic thing I played around with as a kid. As an adult, I thought it would be nice to revisit that. I picked up a few other instruments over the years but oddly never owned a recorder. I didn't want to spend too much as I know I'm not going to play seriously but didn't want to buy a plastic toy either. This wooden recorder fit the bill. It looks and feels well crafted. It's solid wood. All the parts fit well together. Smooth finish. Not glossy. I think the wood is just waxed. As for the sound quality, I feel like the wood adds some warmth compared to the harsher sound of a plastic recorder. I was initially surprised by the overall quality considering the price.

I am a musician, and recently got into producing my own music. I have been on the hunt for new instruments to add to my collection. I thought a recorder would be a really nice addition so I wanted to try this one out. I did not expect it to be this good of quality. It sounds beautiful, and having a real wood recorder is great. It has a nice woodsy smell right out of the box. It comes in two pieces that you can easily put together and start using! I love this purchase and I'm glad I gave this one a shot even with the lack of reviews. Very happy!

This is a fantastic deal for a maple recorder. Great tone and feel. Definite improvement over the standard $10 yamaha starter. If you have a child who is excited to start the recorder, get them this. It will provide them with the sense of using a real instrument. Just grease the cork a lot at first. They may have a hard time seperating it but it gets easier.
I've used this in audio recordings and with a piano accompaniment. Tone is gorgeous.
Provided picture with the standard Yamaha student recorder. They are aligned by the top hole. As you can see there is a slightly longer reach with one. Very slight.

I’m an adult beginner to this instrument, so I don’t know much about design or quality, but this is a beautiful instrument with a pleasant, rich tone. It is easy to clean and store. The price seems very reasonable for what you get.

Most of us learn to play recorder on inexpensive plastic instruments. There is nothing wrong with that. Frankly some them (such as Eastar's own) sound and play amazingly well. -Far better than the plastic instruments of not too many years ago. But that said, there is nothing like the sound and feel of a well crafted wooden recorder. -Especially when playing the lower notes which can come almost alive with a sonorous bottom and sweet overtones.
The hold back for many players -- the thing that has kept them using plastic instruments -- frankly has been the cost. But to my (and I expect many player's) amazement, even that is changing. This Eastar is made from solid maple. You see it and feel it even before you hear it. And it is thing of beauty. And yet the cost is very reasonable.
The Eastar ERS-31M comes in a nicely fitted case. A case that also holds a cleaning rod (provided) with a soft head and a small container of sealing and protecting lubricant for the cork used where the three parts of the recorder attach to one-another.
Oh, and that brings to mind another nice feature of the Eastar... It is a three piece unit -- and its lower bout rotates allowing for custom placement of the lowest hole allowing for correct placement for those with shorter or longer little fingers. (Once set, however, the two lower parts can remain as one even when the recorder is taken apart for storage.)
Tuning and pitch on my example seemed pretty close to "right on." Although that depends in part on the player's technique. And those used to plastic instruments may have to get the feel for this (and other) wooden ones to assure clear notes free of 'lisps' when playing down low.
Eventually every serious player starts to feel ready to upgrade to a wooden instrument. Now with the Eastar ERS-31M cost need not be so much a factor.
Highly recommended.

Yes in these lock down times I have resorted to my childhood and decided to relearn the recorder. This comes in a nice sturdy case, found it bit awkward to open at first but okay now. Nice and compact. Value for money
Alice
Nice wooden flute. Recorded it through external microscope, made good sound samples. Quite loud. Can be taken apart in 3 pieces and stored within the case (included with the purchase). Also has a cleaning tool

I purchased this recorder for my daughter who is starting lessons as school.
It arrived in its own case so was nicely presented and even came with its own cleaner!
It is smooth to the touch and the top part simply slides onto the bottom when want to use.
My daughter was very happy with her first recorder!
