Clarinet YCL255 or YCL200AD (upgrade case package)
New barrel design The YCL-255 student model clarinet incorporates some of the distinct qualities of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets. One of these features is a 65mm barrel design that produces a focused tone and quick response. This will help new students in finding those hard to hit first pitches while giving an edge to students who have been playing a while longer.
New bell design
Nothing can be more frustrating to new students who are learning notes and fingerings for the first time than a soft sounding, out of tune instrument. A new resonance chamber in the bell of the YCL-250 aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes, allowing for the consistency and confidence in learning things correctly the first time.
Valentino pads
Everyone knows the rigorous lifestyle that a student model instrument endures. It only makes sense to use equipment that will match the lifestyle. Valentino pads are more durable, easier to repair, and less sensitive to temperature changes than other pads making them the student model choice.
Matte finish
The look of this plastic model is reminiscent of the more expensive wood models due to its matte finish. This attractive finish simulates the actual grain of wood while providing the advantage of a durable ABS resin material. Students will no longer feel uncomfortable playing their plastic model next to other students with wood models.

"Blue" steel spring material
Intermediate instruments need to feel different than student model instruments. Part of making the YCL-450 "feel" better is the upgrade in spring material. Blue steel springs give the keys a lighter touch and feel while producing a smooth, quick action.

Sculptured, nickel-plated keys
The nickel-plated keys provide a more clear and focused tone. Also, the nickel-plated keys of the YCL-450N provide a good alternative for people who have an allergic reaction to silver-plating. In order to make the keys to the appropriate strength level, a technique called power forging is used. The results of this hi-tech process are keys that are exceptionally durable and contoured to the best possible ergonomic shape.
