Is "descant" the same as "soprano?"

Yes, a "soprano" or "descant" recorder is the smaller recorder in "C". The lowest note is "C", and it's approximately 13" long. The "alto" or "treble" recorder is the medium recorder in "F". It's lowest note is "F", and it's approximately 18" long. Americans tend to use "soprano" vs. "alto", while Brits use "descant" vs. "treble".

I would like a recorder in the key of G. Does anyone make one? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you!

Recorders are made in different keys. I suggest you look at Sarah Jeffry’s YouTube channel. It’s chocked full of information.

What kind of music you can't play with this?

If you can read music and keep time, you can play the music of your choice. The recorder is an "ancient" instrument, and I use the recorder to approach the authenticity of the music of its time. However, I also play Christmas carols, Irish gigs, modern church music, and any piece I like and for which I am able to find the sheet music. I do not have an "ear" for music, thus I require the notes set to be set to paper.

Is this the aulos haka soprano? i'm asking because the description lists another model aulos recorder (a303ai)

No, the Haka series recorders are only the A703 sopranos (B brown, BW brown woodgrain) and the A709 altos.
