It offers a focused, mellow sound which is balanced in all registers. System: Baroque, Windway: Arch. Completing The Lineup In addition to the more common soprano and alto recorders, ensembles often call for other keys such as tenor, bass, and even great bass recorders. Yamaha offers a full line of top quality tenor recorders in both ABS resin and natural wood materials Review: A fine and capable recorder - I wanted an inexpensive tenor for ensemble practice and one-to-a-part sessions as a backup to my main tenor, an Aura Conservatorium in grenadilla wood. I have been using an Aulos 211 plastic model for many years for this, but as newer music for recorder often means the appearance of a low C#, rarely present in earlier music, the Aulos has been less suited for this as it has no split key. I chose the Yamaha 304 after hearing it played by fellow players. I have not been disappointed. It has proved more effective and musical than I'd expected. It is light enough to be easy to hold for long periods, but with enough heft not to feel flimsy. The sound is somewhat richer and more sonorous than the Aulos, and though it does not quite match my Aura tenor in roundness of sound, it is less than a tenth of the price, and holds its own in ensemble and consort playing. Notes in the low octave speak easily, and intonation is good throughout the range, with an initial tendency to flatness, until a good playing temperature has been reached. Moisture is an occasional problem, but no more so than with a dense wood recorder. In summary, a fine and capable recorder at an affordable price, and a match for good wood recorders several times the price. Recommended. Review: Really great - have to stretch my fingers, though! - This is a BIG instrument! And I have small hands. But the tone is amazing - easily comparable with my wooden recorders. Deep, Ruch and warm. It really is a fantastic quality instrument! Highly recommended. ## Features - tenor recorder - baroque system - ABS resin - 3-piece construction - C/Cis Double Holes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Dimensions | 44 x 5 x 11 cm; 400 g | | Item model number | BYRT304BII | | Colour | White | | Material Type | Wood, Resin, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Instrument Key | C | | Proficiency Level | intermediate | | Item Weight | 400 g | ## Product Details - **Colour:** White - **Brand:** YAMAHA - **Instrument key:** C - **Material:** Wood, Resin, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene - **Style:** Baroque ## Images ![YRT304BII Tenor Recorder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+lC9wknRL.jpg) ![YRT304BII Tenor Recorder - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yOAlmMEpL.jpg) ![YRT304BII Tenor Recorder - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21oaLkPZIaL.jpg) ![YRT304BII Tenor Recorder - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Eq+gV-QxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine and capable recorder *by A***E on 24 May 2018* I wanted an inexpensive tenor for ensemble practice and one-to-a-part sessions as a backup to my main tenor, an Aura Conservatorium in grenadilla wood.

But the tone is amazing - easily comparable with my wooden recorders. Deep, Ruch and warm. It really is a fantastic quality instrument! Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great sound. *by C***E on 12 July 2020* I love this instrument. It has a great sound. The stretch is a bit different to my very old Aulos tenor but I got used to it after a couple of days. The bore is bigger than my previous recorder which allow it to produces a louder sound, can't wait to play at church once lockdown is over and normal life resumes. It arrived in good time and in good condition. I am curious to see how well the carry case holds up once it starts travelling with me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha YRT304BII Tenor Recorder - Yamaha YRA-302B Alto Recorder, smooth brown finish, key of F - Yamaha YRA-312B Alto Recorder, simulated Rosewood finish, Key of F --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/50521268-yrt304bii-tenor-recorder](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/50521268-yrt304bii-tenor-recorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
