The Yamaha YCL-450M is a Bb clarinet from Yamaha’s Intermediate Series. It impresses with its professional build quality, a number of technical improvements and a superb sound.
The bore and tone holes in the upper joint of the instrument are injection-moulded from ABS plastic. This reduces playing resistance and gives the clarinet an even warmer and more balanced sound. Furthermore, the ABS resin injection moulding provides protection against cracks in the body of the YCL-450M.
The newly shaped duodecimal sleeve particularly optimises the response in the second register. The instrument offers the experienced musician an added bonus in terms of quality and playing comfort.
