Aulos F-altblokfluit Symphony 509B barokvingerwerk donkerbruin, compleet met tas, wisstok, vetblik en grepentabel

Ik heb de blokfluit vergeleken met zn concurrent van Yamaha. De Aulos produceert een merkbaar lager volume en is minder stabiel. Het geluid zou je iets mooier kunnen vinden afhankelijk van je smaak, maar voor mij was het verschil heel klein. Daarom heb ik de Yamaha gekozen.

Very well presented.Very nice tone. Sounds very pleasant and in tune.It is indeed easier to play compared to other plastic tenors like the Aulos Symphony or the Yamaha.I have small hands and I can tell the difference quite clearly, it is a dream for me.

This is the brown and cream version of the Aulos 511B E Symphony Recorder, and I think it does look nicer than the black and white version that I borrowed to try before buying. I bought this at a sale price which was a lucky bargain, as I'd already decided on this model.This is as good as plastic/resin tenor recorders ever get. It even out performs many wooden tenor recorders, and you would have to pay many times the price to get a wooden one that matched its performance. It has a very balanced, solid and quality feel to it and produces a beautiful tone right through the range. The recorder is a 3 piece model and comes in a nice leatherette case with a cleaning rod, joint grease, clip on thumb rest and fingering chart/care instruction sheet. The centre section also has end caps for storage. The foot section has easy reachable levers for the low C and C#, which still produce a strong sound unlike many tenor recorders, and the tone is pleasant and easy to play right through into the high range. The precision build quality is apparent as soon as you start to assemble the recorder, with the joints fitting together perfectly. Only need very lightly greasing. If only all recorders were built to such exact tolerances!The finger spacing is typical of most modern tenors and as this is not my first tenor recorder, I found the spacing very comfortable. The tuning is spot on right through the range too, unlike my old tenor which was a cheaper brand and had serious uncorrectable tuning flaws. That has now gone to the charity shop!Aulos are not the cheapest of the plastic/resin recorders but this model is the best I've played. I'm usually a Yamaha fan, but after borrowing a Yamaha tenor and one of this model, I think the Aulos just has the edge on performance and sound. This makes it worth the extra few pounds to get the best. I can't find a single negative to say against it. 5***** for Aulos!

I just started fooling around with recorders again after I haven't touched one for 53 years (the 4th grade).Irish whistles too.Wood ones from iVolga are really nice sounding.Anyway, I recently purchased a Yamaha YRN-302B II, a Yamaha 402 B Ecodear, and a Woodnote Garklein, which I think is total garbage, and probably a cheapo counterfeit somebody switched that I unfortunately ended up with.Anyway, the Yamaha recorders are legitimate and are quite nice, and I especially like the Ecodear alto, but this Aulos 211A tenor is really, I think, a bit nicer looking, simply because it has a unique design with subtle differences that make it stand out as far as looks go.It's not overly done with white (ivory colored) accents like most Yamaha recorders are.Very subtle, very classy looking.It also has a nice mellow tone, but I really could not judge against a Yamaha tenor, because I do not own one.Because of it's size, it's going to take a bit of time to get my breath control in order, but I am making progress fairly quickly.Just don't expect to come directly from another size and dive right in.It is a bit of a curve as far as breath control goes.It's much trickier transitioning between octaves and right now, I'm getting a bunch of squealing.That's totally on me.It just takes time, practice, and very, very subtle changes in breath.I'm sorted at how little breath this recorder requires as compared to the others I've been playing with in the last few weeks.I'm sure an intermediate player would have no problem whatsoever.As far as fingering goes, I'm 6'2" and have the necessary finger reach for such an instrument.This one seems no more difficult to transition from than going from a Soprano to an alto did for me.I rather like the fact that there are no moving parts on this one.I really hate moving parts like keys, because, guess what?Moving parts wear, they make a bit of noise, and moving parts can break!I'm not sure, but would imagine the keys on other recorders have some kind of felt sealing pad on them too that will need replacement.Without keys, this recorder will truly last a lifetime with no maintenance other than keeping it clean.I would highly recommend this recorder.As a novice to the tenor,I feel it's something you can easily grow into, provided you have the necessary finger reach.It seems to be very well made and is also very classy looking.It comes with a snap-on thumb rest should you require one, and also a cleaning rod and joint lube.The zipper pouch is quite nice too.One thing I wish it came with is a plug that holds the mouthpiece and the end bell together in the bag as Yamahas do, however it does have end caps for the main body tube.There is a felt divider for mouthpiece and the bell sewn into the pouch.

This is a good color. All Aulos recorders that I have read reviews of have good reviews, often great. The only think is at the price I paid I thought I was getting the Aulos 209B Robin Alto Recorder. Since I ordered it under Smile.amazon.com I won't return it, but it was a disappointment.

This was bought to replace another of the same model that was dropped and damaged. My son is the musician using it, and it has a rich, soft sound, like a much more expensive instrument. Highly recommend!
