Full details
The AULOS Robin Tenor Recorder 211A is an ideal instrument for advancing students and hobbyists who require a reliable, high-quality plastic recorder that mimics the response and tone of more expensive wooden models.

While it offers exceptional durability and precise intonation, beginners may initially find the larger physical size of a tenor recorder more demanding than smaller soprano models.

FAQs
What is the range of this recorder?
The AULOS 211A has a range of c1 to d3.
Is this a Baroque or German fingering recorder?
This model features a Baroque fingering system.
How do I maintain the joints?
If the joints feel too tight, apply a very small amount of the included grease to the tenon; do not use excessive force to assemble the pieces.
Can I wash the recorder with water?
Yes, you can wash the instrument with lukewarm water and a mild, neutral soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
Yes, it is high quality and responsive, though beginners should be aware that the tenor size is larger than the soprano, requiring a wider finger reach.
Troubleshooting
The recorder produces a harsh or screeching sound
Check the windway for condensation or debris. Gently clear the windway and ensure your breath pressure is steady and not overly forceful.
Notes sound out of tune or flat
Ensure all holes are completely covered by the fleshy part of your fingers. Check that the joints are fully pushed together and the foot joint is aligned correctly.
Difficulty holding the recorder comfortably
Adjust the position of the one-touch finger hook to better suit your hand size, or re-adjust the angle of the foot joint to reach lower holes more easily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your AULOS 211A, keep the instrument away from direct heat sources, which can warp the resin body. When assembling the recorder, ensure the double sleeve joints are clean and occasionally apply a small amount of the provided joint grease to facilitate smooth assembly without putting stress on the plastic. After each playing session, use the included cleaning stick with a soft cloth to remove moisture from the bore; this prevents mold buildup and keeps the windway clear. Always store the instrument in its soft case when not in use to protect the mouthpiece and bell from impacts.
