I played in this Adler Soprano Recorder carefully, increasing playing time daily and the sound has become fuller in the few months that I have owned it. It is excellent value for money and has a lovely tone to it, much fuller than the cheap plastic instruments you normally encounter. I am an adult musician only recently getting back into playing recorder, though I am a relatively accomplished woodwind player (clarinets & saxophones). I also have an Adler Tenor Recorder and a much more expensive Bass Recorder, all wooden, and am very pleased with this new addition of a wooden Soprano Recorder. The finger holes are small for an adult like me with large hands, but that is normal for this size instrument. It comes with a cleaning kit and case. It really is a no brainer in terms of price. I would thoroughly recommend it. It has a lovely wooden smell when you get it too.
