YCL-221 Yamaha Standard Bass Clarinet

Matte finished ABS resin bodyThe matte finish gives the clarinet a much better appearance, while the ABS resin body makes the clarinet more lightweight and very durable while giving it a warmer sound and an excellent response. Redesigned neck angleThe neck angle is now the same as that of the professional models, resulting in a much more comfortable and natural playing position. Leather pads with plastic resonatorsThese pads (also used on our saxophones) are longer lasting and provide a better feel with increased projection than standard clarinet pads. Redesigned register tone holeThis tone hole was scientifically designed and placed for extremely accurate intonation. Rounded bridge key connectorThe rounded key prevents key damage and eliminates the need to hold the keys when putting the instrument together. New joint systemThe rubber rings surrounding the cork help to prevent air leaks, ease assembly and prevent keys from binding. Compact ABS caseThis durable lightweight case is smaller and easier for children to carry, making it much more bus-friendly. This case is also stackable and will take up much less space in the band room Specifications Level Standard Bass Key Bb Fingering Boehm Key System 20 keys, 6 covered finger holes Barrel Length N/A Body Material Matte ABS Resin, 2 piece Barrel Material Nickel Silver Bell Material Nickel Silver Key Material Nickel Silver Plating Nickel Bore Molded Tone Holes Straight Thumb Rest Adjustable Mouthpiece Yamaha 4C Mouthpiece Cap Plastic Ligature Nickel-plated Spring Type Blue steel needle Pad Type Tan leather with tone boosters Posts Threated Options  N/A
