I highly recommend this gem, which is so affordable (comparing to wood) for semi-professional students of the recorder!
My son recently started learning soprano for school so he has a cheap yamaha (the one i learned on eons ago) and the difference is extreme.
But, it is like the difference between driving a bmw and an audi quattro.
