Excellent Alto!
I am very happy with the Yamaha YRA-402 Alto / Treble recorder from Thomann.
PROs: (1) It has nice clear bright sound. (2) Very easy to attain high notes (3) It has a curved wind-way which means less clogging (4) cheaper than other 'top end' plastic recorders (5) It is very easy to clean (6) The joints fit well.
In comparison to other recorders I own, this Alto recorder sounds exactly like my £700 Alto in Palisander wood, which is excellent value for money.
CONs: The only downside to this recorder is the mellow yellow appearance. If it had an imitation dark rosewood appearance it would be great.

Good in concert
The recorder is not exactly what one would ecpect to use in contemporary jazz/pop situations, however, this recorder has not failed me in live contextes. Here Yamaha has provided a recorder that respects a sound quality worthy of being listened to, and which is applicable to many diverse situations.
It is used at home and on tour, and so far no complaints. a quality recorder... however i wish that this series would expand to the sopranino and tenor, I do not know who to contact to make this happen.
The style is more akin to a recorder made of lighter wood and ivory gothic recorder players beware !
But fo me to have a choice that is light in color but heavy in sound gives me hope for all future concerts.
I hope to meet with the factory and discuss the potential of this agreeable instrument.
Good for folks that are into alto, on a budget
or on tour in a multi-intstrumental configuration

Etonnant !
Chouette flûte pour débutant ! Le son est joli et fin (pas aussi puissant qu'une flûte en bois, mais c'est normal), juste et la flûte se tient aisément en main. Je la conseille maintenant à mes élèves débutant ou comme seconde flûte d'entraînement à mes élèves avancés. A quand une ténor dans ce matériau ?

very good
after trying many plastic recorders, this one is mine favourite .
it's very same to the 300 series , but has a more sweet and mellow sound , also every note speaks so clearly.

Probably in the top 2 for plastic alto recorders. Clear sound, good projection, lovely tone.
