The majority of recorders are made from non-environmentally friendly plastics. To help combat this, Yamaha has produced an environmentally friendly material that sounds similar to ABS resin - Ecodear. Ecodear is the worlds first application of an environmentally friendly plant-based material used in a musical instrument. Manufactured by combining natural polylactic acid with ABS resin, Ecodear offers a mellow and centred tone with improved breath response. Similar to ABS resin recorders, the YRS40B recorder offers a durable build quality while only needing little maintenance. Offering a suitable amount of air resistance for easy control, the YRS402B features excellent intonation that is often associated with much more expensive models.
Yamaha are universally acknowledged as a leader in the musical world. They are known for their attention to detail and precision, which has earned the respect of students as well as professional musicians from around the world. Yamaha's combination of craftsmanship and leading technology are transferred into the production of every instrument.
