What they say
The quality of the musical instrument you learn on can have a huge impact on how your playing develops and how motivated you are to continue learning. This is especially true for brass and woodwind instruments. Yamaha have worked hard to ensure every one of their student models avoid the pitfalls of cheaper instruments - which so often perform inconsistently and unpredictably leading to students having to 'fight' with their instrument and hindering their progress.
The YCL-255s combines state-of-the-art production expertise with high-end Yamaha clarinet features. The result is an outstanding entry-level instrument that delivers a warm, resonant tone remarkably similar to that of a wood clarinet. It features an ABS resin body with a matte finish that imitates that of a wood clarinet, and silver-plated keys which give a soft, warm sound. A new adjustable thumb-rest accommodates different sized hands helping the player develop proper playing technique. In addition, a strap ring allows for the instrument to be held without extra effort. Firmer screws and a silver soldered ring give this new feature excellent durability.
Newly redesigned bell
A new bell made of solid and durable ABS resin plastic results in a lighter instrument with improved response. A resonance chamber in the bell aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes. By removing the metal ring from the bell the instrument is even lighter yet it still remains very robust.
Barrel design
A 65mm barrel based on high-end Yamaha clarinet designs produces a focused tone.
Matte finish
The attractive matte finish simulates the actual grain of wood while providing the added durability of ABS resin plastic.
