Yamaha YCL450N Clarinet

The YCL-450N intermediate model clarinet incorporates some of the distinct qualities of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets. Players looking to "step-up" their performance will do just that with this instrument. Nothing can be more frustrating than a soft sounding, out of tune instrument. A New resonance chamber in the bell aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes, allowing for consistency and confidence. Part of making the YCL-450N "feel" better is the upgrade in spring material. Blue steel springs give the keys a lighter touch and feel while producing a smooth, quick action. The nickel-plated keys provide a more clear and focused tone. Straight tone holes with tapered undercuts provide outstanding intonation and response making the YCL-450N play like a pro-model instrument.
