New Design from Yamaha Duet+ The Yamaha Duet+ YCL450M Bb clarinet employs innovative techniques to form a protective layer next to the air column. During the early stages of construction the upper joint body is drilled out slightly larger around the bore and tone-holes. Thermoplastic ABS resin is then injected into the bore to form an inner protective sleeve. Duet+ instrument are designed to preserve as many characteristics as traditional clarinets as possible while not impacting the natural appearance. All of the tone holes (except metal octave vents) are moulded at the same time as the bore. By reinforcing the tone holes with ABS resin vastly improves the life of the clarinet and even makes servicing the instrument easier than ever. One of the most vulnerable parts of a clarinet is the upper joint tenon as they can often expand. Because of this Yamaha has formed the tenon as an extension of the resin bore ensuring a smooth connection even under moist conditions. A Step Ahead Of The Rest The Yamaha YCL450M is one of the best options for the advancing clarinet player. Yamaha a redesigned the barrel on the YCL450M to improve intonation and projection. The new design of the barrel has also enhanced the response tonal focus and flexibility of the clarinet. The Yamaha YCL450M clarinet features a new vent tube design to improve the stability and note production of the second octave. Offering a great response even with low air pressure this new design enables children to play smoothly easily. Also new to the design is an adjustable thumb rest and strap ring which accommodates most hands sizes. This is a great advantage for student players as it helps them to adopt a proper playing technique. As players grow they can adjust this rest to suit their needs.
