Pros & Cons
Pros
The abs plastic has a good feel and a good sound. I have to go with wood even tho its more expensive, it sounds so much fuller and better to my ear. Wash the mouthpiece in a mild solution of dish detergent and let it dry by itself.
Am very happy with its amazing performance in both tonality and volume. The yamaha 302b bass recorder has a rich mellow sound. Has a wonderfully rich sound.
Great for bass-rich louis armstrong repertoires like what a wonderful world, blueberry hill or more modern pieces. Great for beginner groups. Wonderful sounding and playing instrument.
Ordered it on jan 31 fr us. Received it first thing on feb 4 in oz. Highly recommended. And amazon for facilitating.

It's a great buy for the money.

Com at $259 plus shipping compared to rrp$599 in oz though most are discounted to circa $449-499 mark.
