What they say
When designing the YCL450 Series, Yamaha conceived it as an instrument that a player just starting out would want to continue playing well into the future. These are all Grenadilla instruments designed with the know-how gained through years of experience crafting professional level instruments. Featuring a bell shape and barrel design similar to that of the acclaimed Yamaha V Series, the YCL450 offers a surprisingly professional sound with an effortless response. The new bell design gives improved intonation and projection (especially in the all-important lower register) whilst the new barrel enhances the YCL450's response, flexibility and tonal focus.
Silver-plated keys
Silver-plated nickel silver keys give a softer, warmer sound.
New adjustable thumb-rest with strap ring
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.
