Yamaha YCL-457-II 17 Bb-Clarinet German System

New defined beginner model!

The YAMAHA YCL-457-II 17 Bb-Clarinet comes in a new design and with new technical specs. Many different features get this instrument to a perfect beginner model. To save weight YAMAHA left the Eb-key away. The thumb hole and the first fingering hole are easier to reach because they are a bit higher than before.

To get the attack point of the middle and higher tone range on a much easier way the bore of the YCL-457-II 17 is smaller. Another important improvement is a metal application on the Eb-/Bb-key to save the cork and give more stability.

The "short"-A key is combined with the G# key. This improves the sound of A and Bb and offers the possibility to trill G#-A much easier.

Instead of natural cork the YAMAHA YCL-457-II 17 Bb-Clarinet uses a synthetic one for the upholstery. The thumb holder is now adjustable about 12 mm and has much more stability. There is also a ring to use a holder if necessary.
