Înființat
Follow these steps to properly assemble your recorder:
- Carefully remove all three sections (head joint, body, foot joint) from the carrying case.
- Apply a small amount of the provided recorder cream to the joints of the body section. This lubricates the joints, making assembly smoother and preventing damage.
- Gently twist the head joint onto the body section. Ensure the holes on the head joint align with the holes on the body.
- Attach the foot joint to the bottom of the body section, twisting gently. The hole on the foot joint should align with the other holes for proper fingering.
- Verify that all sections are securely connected and aligned.

Operarea înregistratorului
Holding Position
- Hold the recorder with your left hand at the top (head joint) and your right hand at the bottom (foot joint).
- Your left thumb covers the thumb hole on the back.
- Your left index, middle, and ring fingers cover the top three holes on the front.
- Your right index, middle, and ring fingers cover the next three holes.
- Your right pinky finger covers the double hole at the very bottom.
Producerea sunetului
- Place the mouthpiece gently between your lips.
- Blow a steady, gentle stream of air into the recorder. Avoid blowing too hard, as this can produce a harsh or squeaky sound.
- Cover the tone holes completely with the pads of your fingers to produce clear notes. Even a small gap can affect the sound.
Degetul baroc
The YRA-402B uses Baroque fingering. Refer to a standard Baroque fingering chart for specific notes. For example, to play a low F, cover all holes with your left hand and the top three holes with your right hand, leaving the bottom double hole open.
Întreţinere
Regular cleaning and care will extend the life and maintain the sound quality of your recorder:
- După fiecare utilizare: Disassemble the recorder into its three parts. Use the cleaning rod with a soft cloth (or the provided cleaning cloth) to gently wipe the inside of each section to remove moisture.
- Îngrijirea articulațiilor: Periodically reapply a small amount of recorder cream to the joints to keep them lubricated and prevent them from sticking or becoming too loose.
- Depozitare: Store the disassembled or assembled recorder in its canvas carrying case to protect it from dust and physical damage. Avoid extreme temperatures or humidity.
- Cleaning the Windway: If the sound becomes airy or unclear, the windway may be clogged. Use a thin, soft material (like a pipe cleaner) to carefully clean the windway, being careful not to scratch the plastic.
