Yamaha YCL-650ii Bb Clarinet

The Yamaha YCL-650II clarinet is perfect for serious clarinetists who seek high performance without compromising their budget. Sharing many features with the top-tier Custom SEV model, the YCL-650II offers a warm, round, and deeply resonant sound. Whether you’re a student or a professional, this clarinet provides exceptional value and performance.

CRAFTED FOR SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

Constructed from carefully selected and seasoned Grenadilla wood, the YCL-650II boasts extensive handcrafting and hand-finishing. Tapered tone holes are meticulously undercut by hand, ensuring precise intonation and superior tonal balance. The 65mm barrel design produces a focused tone with quick response, while the beautifully sculpted keys are regulated by master artisans for perfect balance and touch.

QUALITY PADS AND OUTSTANDING PROJECTION

After extensive testing, Yamaha selected top-quality leather pads that allow breath to flow easily and stress-free, enhancing tone production. These pads prevent spurious pad noise and ensure breath flows directly towards the bell, resulting in outstanding projection.

ELEVATED LEVEL OF COMFORT

Every detail of the YCL-650II is designed for player comfort. The leather pads provide smooth and effortless breath flow, while the adjustable thumb rest accommodates different hand positions, reducing thumb discomfort and fatigue. Needle springs provide faster key action, enhancing playability and allowing players to concentrate on their music.

SUPERIOR PLAYABILITY AND REDUCED MISTAKES

The YCL-650II features longer E/B levers and C#/G# keys, reducing the likelihood of fingers slipping off the keys and improving performance accuracy. These design enhancements lower the chances of mistakes, allowing for more confident playing.

VISUALLY APPEALING

A great clarinet should also be visually appealing, and the YCL-650II certainly is. The unique, natural finish captures the audience's attention, making it a stunning instrument to behold as well as to hear.
