The Yamaha Standard of Quality
After extensive research and testing with music educators and clarinet players, the second-generation Yamaha YCL-450II intermediate clarinet delivers superior sound quality, improved response, and greater durability. The addition of premium leather pads ensures a more consistent seal over the tone holes, which helps produce a wider dynamic range. This enhanced seal allows for improved sound and smoother response at all dynamic levels, making the YCL-450II the perfect choice for intermediate clarinetists seeking professional performance.
Hi-Tech Design
The Yamaha YCL-450II semi-professional Bb clarinet features a body, bell, and barrel made of Grenadilla wood gives the instrument not only a beautiful appearance, but also a rich sound. Blue steel needle springs used on professional models gives the keys a lighter touch and feel while allowing for smooth, quick key action. The leather pads as used on Yamaha’s professional clarinet means fewer leaks, better sound, feel, and longer pad lifetime and greater dynamic range. Nickel plated keys ensures durable keys that are less susceptible to breakage. This new YCL-450II model features an optimized bell and bore taper for greater clarity and resonance on lower tones and a more even sound across all registers.
