Yamaha YCL-255 S B-Klarinette B-Ware

Product information "Yamaha YCL-255 S B-Klarinette B-Ware"

The new YCL-255S clarinets are the perfect start for young clarinet students. Made from durable ABS resin they are easy to handle and with the new adjustable thumb-rest and improved strap ring, they are now more comfortable to play. By removing the metal ring from the bell we have made the instrument even lighter yet it still remains very robust. Accurate intonation and immediate response help students to produce a round sound.

New adjustable thumb-rest and strap ring

A new adjustable thumb-rest accommodates different sized hands helping the player develop proper playing technique. In addition, a strap ring allows for the instrument to be held without extra effort. Firmer screws and silver soldered ring gives this new feature excellent durability.

Newly redesigned bell

A new bell made only of solid and durable ABS resin plastic results in a lighter instrument with improved response. A resonance chamber in the bell aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes.

Barrel design

A 65mm barrel based on high-end Yamaha clarinet designs produces a focused tone.

Matte finish

The attractive matte finish simulates the actual grain of wood while providing the added durability of ABS resin plastic.

Through the ideal combination of solid craftsmanship and advanced technology, Yamaha has been producing instruments of an internationally recognised high standard for over 100 years.

Outstanding workmanship, a full, round tone, reliable intonation, a comfortable finger position and a balanced blowing resistance are the result of tireless endeavours to achieve constant perfection.

German fingering or Boehm system?

In Germany, the German fingering is taught and played almost exclusively, while in other European countries the same applies to the Boehm clarinet. It was the German clarinet maker Boehm who developed this instrument in the 19th century. However, it was not well received by German instrument makers, so he went to Paris and continued making his Boehm clarinet there. From there, it began its triumphal march throughout Europe and the world.
