A fun look and surprisingly solid
It's a red sparkle recorder with gold trim, and my expectations were honestly not that high. Something fun and festive for under 25€. However, it's a surprisingly heavy feel in the hand and a nice round sound. The top notes (A in the second octave and above) are a little hit or miss but I also haven't spent a lot of time trying to modify my technique to get a better response since I have other recorders that play easily up there. For the price and for the fun, you can't go wrong, but for a truly great instrument, try one of their wooden "Dream" models.

I love it!
Not only does it sparkle, but it also has a lovely full tone. My only gripe would be that it doesn't easily play very high notes A/B/C third octave, but with a bit of adjusting and blowing fairly strongly even these notes will happen.
Altogether a great instrument for learners and any players who don't want their wooden instrument to get damp!

Beautiful recorder
I am fairly new to playing recorder, but not new to music. I teach general music in school, and I decided to learn to play recorder so I could use it with the students, and found that I liked playing it so much that I wanted to get one for myself to play at home.
This is a beautiful instrument. It looks drastically different than the other recorders I looked at. It has a beautiful, fuller sound than the other plastic recorders I looked at. The holes are larger than on most recorders, so they are very easy to find. The instrument is in tune and has a beautiful tone. It is quite loud, which is great for playing in groups or in my classroom, but maybe not ideal for people wanting to practice quietly at home.
Overall, this is a beautiful looking instrument that has a great sound, easy to use for beginners, and great for people looking for something a bit different while shopping for a new recorder.

WOW! Who'd have known?
I just received this feisty little red devil yesterday and it has already blown my mind. It is so diverse in sound and potential for articulation. I bought it to have a go at van Eyck's works but it is capable of SO much more. I'm even thinking of playing Christmas Carols on the street corner with it. Don't fool yourself into thinking it's cheap because it is plastic. As far as I'm concerned, it's head-over-heels above wooden ones (I'm just sayin'). And all of this is the comments of a 50+ year musician and composer. Thanks to Thomann for their continued spectacular service.
Happy holidays to all.

Excellent product
I bought this recorder as my budget "performance" instrument, next to my "practice" instrument. The design of the holes make it very easy to reproduce notes accurately, especially those of higher register. The sound is very loud, perhaps not suitable for indoor playing.

Adri's Dream (Red plastic)
A lovely recorder. Great sound. Great look. Easy response except the very highest notes, which require a little skill to control.
