Yamaha YCL-255 Bb Clarinet

Yamaha YCL-255 Bb Clarinet

The Yamaha YCL-255 student clarinet is easy to play, durable, and produces a pleasing tone that will foster a love for music from the first note. Using state-of-the-art production techniques, Yamaha specifically crafted this outstanding entry-level clarinet with high-end features. Featuring a matte ABS resin body, the Yamaha YCL-255 offers unmatched durability with an attractive look that emulates wooden clarinets. Top-notch components — including nickel-plated keys, Valentino synthetic pads, and a beginner-friendly 4C mouthpiece — lend the YCL-255 a professional feel. Meanwhile, an adjustable thumb rest ensures young players are able to comfortably perform using proper technique. Finally, the Yamaha YCL-255 comes with a plush-lined CLC-180 carrying case for safe storage and transport.

Durable ABS resin body and Valentino pads

With a design based on Yamaha’s professional-level clarinets, the YCL-255 features a durable ABS resin body, barrel, and bell with a matte finish, which mimics the look and feel of grenadilla and exhibits a warm, rich tonality on par with wooden instruments. The YCL-255 will serve developing players well for years; it's resistant to damage caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity, and the occasional drops and dings, and it requires minimal maintenance. Additionally, the YCL-255 is outfitted with Valentino synthetic pads.

Easy-to-play clarinet with excellent tone

The Yamaha YCL-255 is engineered to provide exceptional playability. It includes a 65mm barrel — the same length found on Yamaha’s high-end clarinets, making it easy to produce a clear and focused tone. An adjustable thumb rest allows players with smaller hands to access the keys using proper technique; and, as they grow, they can reposition the thumb rest to accommodate their needs. Plus, the YCL-255 includes a durable, silver soldered strap ring for when extra support is required.
