Outstanding choice to begin working on expression and nuance
With a natural application of breath this model can produce clear, authentic clarinet tone. A fine blend of easy playability and excellent pitch makes the YCL-450 an outstanding choice to begin working on expression and nuance, which can significantly shorten the path to proficiency.
Know-how acquired through the production of custom models
The balance of the instrument was reviewed and the leather pad was adopted. Optimized bell bore shape for homogeneous sound quality in all registers.
Barrel's outer diameter: A shape that promotes efficient breath flow through the instrument. The barrel gets slightly smaller toward the mouthpiece for easy blowing and flexible response to expressive nuances. Slightly larger at the lower end.
Warm tone for outstanding projection
The surface of the pad that closes the tone hole is made of genuine leather, which is used in higher-end models, for a powerful yet soft sound. It also reduces noise from the pad while playing and is highly durable.
Can be played naturally even by small children
The adjustable thumb rest can be set to a height that is most comfortable for individual players, reducing thumb discomfort and fatigue.
It can be set to make fingering comfortable for players with small hands and can be readjusted as necessary as the player grows and becomes more proficient. The thumb rest also includes a ring that can provide a convenient location for strap attachment when needed.
