Yamaha YCL-450IINM Bb Clarinet

After extensive research and testing with educators and players, the new YCL-450IINM intermediate clarinets bring improved sound, response and added durability, offering an excellent choice for players to begin working on expression and nuance.

• The addition of leather pads, vertically integrated from the professional and custom Yamaha models, provides a more consistent seal of the tone holes. The improved seal of the leather pads facilitates a wider dynamic range with more power and nuance at both the loud and soft volumes. The leather pads also offer excellent durability and help decrease pad noise.
• The optimized bell and bore taper ensure a more even sound across all registers, delivering a richer tonal quality.
• This model is designed with Duet+™ original Yamaha technology that produces an ABS resin bore lining, which minimizes cracking and changes to the internal wood and enhances precision for tonal stability.
