For years, the recorder has been taught to school children as an introduction to the world of music - and for good reason. The recorder's beautiful simplicity makes it readily accessible to players of all ages and musical experience. So, based on our experience and customer feedback, we have curated this collection of recorders ideal for beginning players. Whether you are looking for a durable plastic instrument or are transitioning to a wooden instrument for the first time, you will find a selection of good quality instruments here. As always, if you are taking lessons, we recommend asking your instructor for guidance in selecting the appropriate instrument first.
