The Yamaha YRS-401 is a three-piece soprano recorder made of Ecodear™. This special plastic is an environmentally conscious variant in which part of the conventional petroleum-based material has been replaced with resins made from plant starch.
Advantages of Ecodear™
The special material of the YRS-401 has a much higher density compared to normal plastic. As a result, these flutes achieve a more centered sound, improved blowing resistance, and easier response. These improvements make the Ecodear™ models sound even more like a wooden recorder. The windway of the YRS-401 also has a more pronounced camber and now meets the standard of professional recorders.
