Yamaha B-Flat Clarinet - Co-Developed by Leading German Musicians!
Yamaha Oehler clarinets are high-quality, authentic instruments built on the German fingering system. Several leading German musicians helped develop these beautiful woodwind instruments. The Yamaha YCL-457II-20 delivers excellent intonation and a wonderfully rich, powerful, full tone.
The YCL-457II-20 can accompany a student for many years because it comes from the outset with all the key features that make getting started easy. At the same time, it already serves as a fully fledged instrument for the advanced player.
Technically Optimized for Improved Playability
A noticeable technical change is the left F lever replacing the E-flat lever.
To simplify response especially in the middle and upper registers, the bore was slightly reduced and the register hole modified. For a better fingering feel and easier covering, the thumb hole was raised onto a flat plateau, from which the register key lever is also easier to reach.
An important improvement affects the E-flat/B side key, whose high cork often broke off when beginners assembled the instrument. A metal foot now provides stability here.
The coupling of the so-called "short" A key with the G-sharp key improves the sound of the notes A and B and facilitates the G-sharp–A trill.
More Precise Fine Tuning
Instead of natural cork, a synthetic cork is used for padding and fine adjustment of the mechanism; it is more durable and keeps the setup reliably stable for longer.
The new thumb rest is adjustable by 12 mm, features a sturdier baseplate, a larger and more comfortable thumb pad, and a sturdy ring for the carrying strap.
Includes Mouthpiece and Case
The M3D mouthpiece for B-flat clarinets responds very easily and is therefore ideal for beginners. It is made of phenolic resin. This high-quality mouthpiece is specifically matched to Oehler clarinets and their tonal characteristics. The clarinet comes in a lightweight case with an adjustable backpack harness.
