## Overview

The Yamaha YRA-402B Alto Recorder is a 3-piece instrument in the key of F, made from plant-based Eco dear plastic that mimics the rich tone of wood while being eco-friendly. Its arched windway enhances breath control, and the design is based on Yamaha’s popular 300-series recorders. Lightweight and polished, it comes with a canvas case, cleaning rod, and recorder cream, making it perfect for both seasoned players and environmentally conscious musicians.

## Description

Yamaha 400-series recorders are made from a special plastic called Eco dear that's made from plants. In addition to being better for the environment than regular plastic, the Eco dear body is also a little more dense, giving these instruments a richer sound that's more similar what you'd hear from a wooden instrument. The YRA-402B is a 3-piece alto recorder in the key of F, with traditional baroque fingering.

Review: Wonderful - Lovely tone. Definitely a step up from the YRA-28. It comes with a canvas carry case, cleaning rod, and a small container of recorder cream (grease).
Review: Wonderful alto - This Yamaha alto eco dear surpassed my expectations. I've some wooden altos so I can compare. The high notes in the ecodear are easy to hit and the sound is sweet. The low F is easy to get with a dark and mellow tone. Beautiful indeed for the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The 300 series have been known for condensation issues that affect perfomance over time, until cleaned. Has anyone found this to be a problem?**
A: I have 3 plastic alto recorders.  All 3 appear to have different size windways in the tip of the mouthpiece.  The size of the windway opening appears to affect the volume and time you can play the recorder without condensation being an issue.  From smallest to largest size of windway opening are Yamaha YRA-402B, Yamaha YRA-302Bii and Aulos 709BW. 
This recorder (Yamaha YRA-402B) tends to clog the quickest and have the lowest sound volume.  On the other hand, it is the easiest to hit the highest notes (due to fast air speed due to the narrow windway opening).
The Yamaha YRA-302Bii plays slightly longer than the 402B before clogging, but is more difficult to hit the highest note.
My favorite plastic alto recorder is the Aulos 709BW.  I use this recorder exclusively in performance.  It never clogs.  It has the largest windway and therefore the greatest volume.  It has a more reedy sound and blends better with the church choir.

**Q: Damaged foot joint**
A: Return it for replacement

**Q: I'm looking for an alto with more comfortable distance between the lower holes than my Zen-on. What is the spacing of this?**
A: I have never played a Zen-on so cannot compare the two.  i have tiny hands (span 18 cm) and a good deal of arthritis, and only manage reaching the bottom hole on the 402B with a great deal of overlap of my ring finger.  the centre of the ring and little finger holes are 3 cm apart when the joint is fully closed.

**Q: Does this come with case and cleaning rod as pictured?**
A: Mine came with a green canvas zippered case, recorder joint cream, a cleaning rod and a fingering chart.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful alto

This Yamaha alto eco dear surpassed my expectations. I've some wooden altos so I can compare. The high notes in the ecodear are easy to hit and the sound is sweet. The low F is easy to get with a dark and mellow tone. Beautiful indeed for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound!
*by M***Y on October 15, 2025*

I had the same kind of recorder in regular plastic, but wanted to try this one out. It really does sound more like a wood instrument. It has a really nice tone, and the higher notes sound less sharp. If you’re deciding between ecodear plastic and regular plastic, definitely get the ecodear. It will be worth the extra money.
