Product Overview and Specifications
Yamaha YCL221 Bass Clarinet

Matte finished ABS resin body
The 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 angle
The 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 resonators
These pads (also used on our saxophones) are longer lasting and provide a better feel with increased projection than standard clarinet pads.

Redesigned register tone hole
This tone hole was scientifically designed and placed for extremely accurate intonation.

Rounded bridge key connector
The rounded key prevents key damage and eliminates the need to hold the keys when putting the instrument together.

New joint system
New joint systemThe rubber rings surrounding the cork help to prevent air leaks, ease assembly and prevent keys from binding.

This bass clarinet has a great sound! I was used to playing a wood Selmer and expected a poorer quality sound with a plastic and a (way under) $10,000 bass clarinet. But, this one sounds great and will give the more expensive one a run for their money!

Purchased the instrument in December 2007. Thanks every penny. A beautiful instrument, with respect to professional and best of all, has a very sound, very good. My teacher played with him and classified as exceptional for its category of instrument which is for students.

The Yamaha bass clarinet is the best for high schools. The case is small and students will take it home and practice. Very fine quality instrument. I had students make all-state band and first chair at many honor band using this horn. We have six other bass clarinets but all the students want this one. We are in the process of changing all our bass clarinets to this model. Very dependable.
