Yamaha YCL-681 Eb Clarinet

Yamaha YCL-681 Eb Clarinet — Professional Soprano Clarinet in E-flat

The Yamaha YCL-681 is where serious players start their professional journey on Eb clarinet. Built around a solid one-piece grenadilla body, it delivers superior tone and resonance while standing up to the rigors of temperature and humidity changes — the kind of durability that matters when you're playing in varied environments.

What separates this instrument from the pack is the attention paid to the tone holes. Each one is individually hand-tapered and undercut, giving you optimum tone quality, intonation, and a uniform response from the bottom of the range to the top. Inset tone holes — made from the same select grenadilla as the body and hand-adjusted for a perfect fit — contribute to a clear, focused sound that orchestral and chamber players will appreciate.

The keywork runs a standard Boehm system with 17 keys and 6 rings, finished in silver plating. The instrument ships with a 42mm barrel, case, and accessories.

Whether you're moving up from a student model or adding an Eb to your professional woodwind setup, the YCL-681 stands as one of the most popular professional-level Eb clarinets on the market — and it's easy to hear why.
