The Yamaha YCL-622 Bass Clarinet Low C is Yamahas premier bass clarinet model. Perfect for the advanced student or professional clarinettist this is a premium option for a first or doubling instrument. With a two-piece body made from carefully selected Grenadilla wood this instrument delivers a rich sonorous tone whilst the gorgeous silver-plated bell provides excellent projection and stability. The 24-key Boehm system is optimally set-up to allow for rapid fluid responsiveness and the thickened finger-hole covers offer extreme stability at high volumes. Yamahas handcrafted professional models are a demonstration of their instrument-building pedigree. In the YCL-622 each tonehole undercut is individually shaped – for a beautifully balanced remarkably responsive instrument. White leather pads are used giving the instrument a delicate touch and excellent sealing which allows for highly expressive capabilities throughout the dynamic range. Please note that wooden instruments are affected by humidity and temperature and as a result the wood may expand and contract which would affect joints such as the tenons and bell rings.
