Which is the most useful key to get an alto recorder in?

The other answers are incorrect. There are indeed altos made in different keys. Your choices are F and G, both either in A-440 or A-415. Plastic alto recorders are only made in F at A-440. There is set to be released, however, an A-415 plastic alto by Zen-on later this year.

What's the difference between the YRA-302B and the YRA-312B?

Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B). Interesting enough, although the difference is by having just a layer of something wrapped or sealed into the resin, it's widespread knowledge that somehow the 312B and 314B with the synthetic woodgrain finish ACTUALLY sound better.I forget what the material is made of but if you touch a 302 and a 312/314, you will feel that the latter is cooler to the touch AKIN some metal low conductivity metal. But do not quote me on this.

What is the difference between this 312 and the 314 model?

I don't know if there is any difference from a musical standpoint. The finish is different (312 is a rosewood finish and 314 is an ebony finish). Other than that, I believe they are the same.However, I will say that they Yamaha alto recorder gives a nice sound.

Just purchased the Alto Recorder. Are the holes suppose to be perfectly aligned on the recorder? Getting a strong whistle with "C"

I use the alto head on a concert flute body to give me the richer tone of the recorder and the versatility of the flutes keys. RecorderFlute?
