I remember when I received my first recorder in kindegarten. This brought back so many great memories of learning my very first instrument. When I saw this Pink Soprano Recorder by #LotYes brought back those wonderful memories and I just knew I had to buy it for my granddaughter who is in 1st grade! The fact that it is also pink (mine was an ugly white one) made this purchase a great way to introduce her to music. It's highly affordable and considering I received my first recorder over 50 years ago the cost wasn't that much higher than my parents paid for mine considering inflation. I still remember mine being $2.45 ! So the fact that this one is $6.49 over the course of 50+ years makes this a buy that is not only affordable but financially affordable. I can't wait to give this to her and introduce her to the world of music. I like that this one also comes in its own case and has a cleaning rod. The one thing I wish it did have is a sheet music book to teach her how to play it. No worries though, I found a place I can purchase a book really inexpensively at a music store so we're all set. If you're looking to introduce a child to music without having to go to a great expense this is definitely the way to go.
