A Step Ahead Of The Rest The Yamaha YCL457 is one of the best options for the advancing clarinet player. Yamaha redesigned the barrel on the YCL457 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 YCL457 Clarinet features silver-plated nickel silver keys for a warmer softer sound. 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. Grenadilla Wood Body The Yamaha YCL457 features a grenadilla body which is regularly used for intermediate and professional level clarinets due to its highly desired acoustic properties. The grenadilla wood provides a rich weighted and focused tone with enhanced projection. This makes the sound more desirable for the advancing student over ABS or composite clarinets. Included accessories Included with the Yamaha YCL457 clarinet is a lightweight moulded case. This case offers tough protection for your instrument to ensure it stays in the best possible condition. The case features a large exterior pocket for holding all of your music and has an adjustable shoulder strap and backpack straps for easy transportation between musical events. Also included with the Yamaha YCL457 is a M3D mouthpiece. Made from high-quality phenol resin the M3D features a design inspired by the Yamaha Custom series.
