The Yamaha YRB302BIII bass recorder is a 4 piece instrument that has been manufactured to emulate qualities expected of more expensive wooden instruments, whilst remaining at a more affordable price point.
It boasts a very accurate intonation, due in part to the arched wind way that provides a small amount of resistance for better breath control. Made from ABS plastic, it is a very durable and reliable instrument that would be a great asset in a recorder ensemble.
The word 'knick' refers to the bent neck design which makes the instrument shorter and much easier to play.
