The Aulos 205a is one of the most common and widely recognised instruments. Many of us will have started in music with this instrument. Often referred to as the "Yellow Bag" recorder, the Aulos 205a has a number of features that make give it a better tonal quality than it's smaller cousin the Aulos 303.
The Aulos collection of Descant recorders (also known as ‘Soprano’ recorders) are made of highly resilient ABS plastic and come in a variety of colours, fingerings and intonations.
Descant recorders are the most well-known models in the recorder family and are commonly used as first instruments in schools due to their relatively small finger spacing and ease of playing. They make for excellent ensemble instruments. Occupying the c'' – d'''' register, they are usually played as the highest voice in four-part ensembles.
Decant recorders use the most common fingering system - Baroque (English) fingering - unless otherwise noted.
