Un buon flauto per iniziare: leggero, pratico e adatto ai più piccoli
Ho acquistato questo flauto dolce Aulos Elite 303B come regalo per mia nipote di 4 anni e mezzo. Non essendo esperto di strumenti musicali, mi sono orientato su un marchio che ho visto essere molto diffuso e consigliato, soprattutto in ambito scolastico.La prima cosa che ho notato è la leggerezza: il flauto è maneggevole e la bambina riesce a tenerlo e usarlo senza difficoltà, cosa per me fondamentale a questa età. Il materiale in resina dà una buona sensazione di robustezza, senza risultare “giocattoloso”, e il colore avorio è sobrio ed elegante.Il fatto che sia smontabile in tre parti è un plus pratico per la pulizia. Nella confezione sono inclusi anche la sacca, la bacchetta per la pulizia e la tabella di diteggiatura, utili soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi. La diteggiatura barocca con doppi fori sembra rendere lo strumento più preciso e intuitivo, anche se su questo aspetto posso basarmi solo sulle prime impressioni.In sintesi, per quello che posso valutare da un utilizzo “da principiante”, è un flauto ben fatto, leggero e adatto ai bambini, ideale come primo strumento o per l’uso scolastico. Non posso esprimermi sulla qualità sonora in modo tecnico, ma come regalo per avvicinare una bambina alla musica mi è sembrata una scelta azzeccata.
Good quality
I am so satisfied with that I bought
Piccolo Piffero Particolare
Pippo pifferaio prepara piccoli pifferi. Pippo posa pifferi presso prati profumati. Piffero parla: "Piru-piru-pì!"Piccoli passerotti partono, pettirossi planano. Pecorelle pascolano pigre, pesciolini piroettano. Pomeriggio piacevole, paesaggio perfetto. Piffero produce pensieri poetici. Pippo preme: "Para-pum-pà!" Piffero pulsa, piffero piace. Pace pura per Pippo pifferaio.

Fantastic value for money. Great to play.
I bought this to try to start relearning after a 36-year gap. At the time I bought it, it was just £4.65. My childhood recorders (descant and treble) were also from Aulos, and they played well and were pretty much indestructible. At under a fiver, this seemed like a fantastic bargain that would be more than good enough and, in case I didn’t enjoy it and gave it up after a week, I certainly wouldn't have wasted much money!It’s generally in tune, plays all the notes (chromatically) from middle C to D’’ (that’s the highest note, just over two octaves above middle C) with only a bit of a squeak on D’’ (I won’t blame that squeak on the Aulos; pretty sure that’s 100% my lack of recent experience). It doesn’t, of course, have the rich, mellow tone of a £2000 handmade, hardwood recorder, but it can make a pleasant, clear, consistent sound, across the registers. The only caveat is that it is easy to overblow the lowest notes and have them “crack”. If you try to correct this by blowing more gently, you can end up with the lowest notes sounding a little flat.Aulos has a reputation for excellent build quality and this model is no exception. Over the years, Aulos recorders will have regularly been sat on, used as a drumstick, chucked into school backpacks and had heavy books piled on top, then possibly used to whack irritating siblings, and mostly they have survived intact. I’m not seven any more, so I haven’t tried any of that, but it seems tough enough to survive it. It comes with a dark blue cloth drawstring bag, a thumb rest, a cleaning rod and a fingering chart. Like the recorder, its bag seems extremely well-made. It's made of a heavy-duty twill - even long-term, it should be hard wearing (and, importantly, washable).My main criticism is that it clogs fairly quickly - after about 10 minutes of playing, it starts to sound a bit “cotton-woolly” and I have to stop and dry it out. However, it’ll last an extra few minutes if you properly warm the head joint to body temperature before you start.TL;DR:Pros:Intonation - excellent - completely in tune. 👍👍👍Response - excellent - easy to play the full range of notes. 👍👍👍Tone - good - mostly pleasant, clear, consistent sound. Minor issues around the lowest notes. 👍Quality - excellent - very robust. 👍👍👍Appearance - Classic looks and I really like the ivory colour. 👍👍👍Accessories - excellent - high quality and very useful. 👍👍👍Cons:Clogging - happens fairly quickly; just keep it warm and swab out regularly. 👎This recorder is obviously aimed at the primary school market, and it seems like a great choice for children of about 6-10. However, from experience, I can say that it is also suitable for adult beginners. I like the ivory colour - though, of course, that’s a matter of taste (it also comes in dark brown).I’d suggest that for a complete beginner of any age, you’ll want your first recorder to be a plastic one, and this is a good choice, though there are others you could consider. Yamaha, like Aulos, are a very reputable, long-established brand, and, for a child, they do some brightly-coloured, see-through descants (though I personally wouldn’t recommend them; who wants to see the spit clogging the thing up, as you play?!) Any of their recorder series starting YRS-3 are well worth a look, though. Aulos themselves do some well-regarded, more expensive descants, very suitable for the adult learner. The Symphony and 'Haka' models, especially, have great reputations, though, apparently, there isn't a bad Aulos recorder. However, if you are looking for an inexpensive recorder (it’s still only £6.49, as I type) that will get you, or your child, through the first year, or so, of learning, then there are far worse options than this.
