How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Introducing the Aulos 509 Symphony treble recorder

The 509B is at the higher end of the Aulos treble recorder range and is tailored to suit the more advanced player. It is made from durable, dark brown ABS plastic and features the smart 'ivory detail' which is seen on many traditional school recorders.

The recorder has a curved wind way and a concave bell which together allow for a rich, mellifluous sound. The response is better than cheaper models and hence the player can be much more expressive.

Arrived promptly, safely packaged. It sounds great to me, but then I do not have a professional musician's ear. It does exactly what I want from it. Thank you

This is simply the best plastic recorder out there. I've tried Yamaha and Dolmetsch. It's hard to describe the differences in words, but this Aulos has greater dynamic range (i. e. will play louder and softer), is easier to play on the high notes, responds better to my attempts at vibrato, and clogs less (i. e. the problem of humidity accumulating in the windway, or hole you blow down, is reduced compared to other designs). Plastic recorders are already incredibly cheap - choose the best amongst them, which is this model.

great instrument, the Symphony series has a woody sound, very clear, very natural, strong instrument for professional sound
