Yamaha YCL-SE Artist Model A Clarinet

Get Unmatched Quality with the Yamaha YCL-SE Artist Model A Clarinet - Grenadilla

The most refined Yamaha technology and craftsmanship have been applied in creating a flagship clarinet that answers the needs of top artists worldwide: the YCL-SE Artist Model. Retaining the fundamental SE Series concept of warm, richly expressive tone, critical elements such as the bell and tone holes have been redesigned with innovative features garnered from development of the CSGIII for a sublime combination of precise pitch and expressive freedom.

• Original Initial Plate: A pink gold plated initial plate engraved with an "A" standing for "Artist Model" adds a distinctive touch to this fine instrument.
• Pink Gold Plating: The key posts, joint rings and thumb tubes are plated in elegant pink gold. This not only enhances appearance, but adds to the instrument's delicate tonality as well.
• Bell And Barrel: New bell and barrel designs contribute to heightened resonance. Optimized resistance and breath flow help to produce a denser tone.
• Tone Holes: Raised tone holes are used for the D/A notes, providing better projection as well as improved tonal quality.
• Case And Case Cover: A dedicated case and case cover provide maximum protection and portability.
