2. Our Favorite, Number-One Selling Recorder

The Harmony WM2400 Soprano Recorder, our number-one selling recorder, is a teacher favorite for many reasons. Available in ivory, blue, green, and purple, each recorder comes with a breathable fabric bag that allows the instrument to air out between sessions. Mike T., an Elementary Music Educator Mike T. says it is go-to classroom recorder. “My students love the recorders they got from West Music. They were high quality and put out a nice pitch. The representative at West Music guided me to the right-sized recorder.”

3. Tunable, Easy-to-Clean Harmony R Series Two-Piece Recorders

The Harmony R Series Recorder is a two-piece recorder model with several key features. The two-piece design allows for tuning and allows teachers to remove the mouthpiece if students become distracted and play out of turn. Simply ask students to remove their mouthpiece section so they can focus on the fingering lesson without disruption. Additionally, the instrument includes a larger bore for consistent tone blend and stronger low notes.

For these reasons and many others, West Music’s Robin Walenta says the Harmony R Series Recorder is the perfect choice for music classrooms. “Designed with the educator in mind, they are the ideal fusion of performance and budget. I love that their two-piece construction allows for easy cleaning and sanitization — something parents and educators both can appreciate. Available in ivory, blue, purple, and red, these recorders will be a hit amongst students as well. I encourage you to check them out. You won’t be disappointed!”
