Professional Series Yamaha YCL-650 Bb Clarinet - Serial # 143316

Gorgeous professional model Yamaha YCL-650 clarinet in Bb, serial number 143316. This clarinet has been lovingly played and maintained, and is a real gem for advancing students looking to pick up their first professional quality wood clarinet, or any professional player looking for a solid pro clarinet on a budget. Much better than your standard Buffet E11, the Yamaha 650 is a true pro model and a great value.

This clarinet was so well cared for, it still looks new. No cracks or previous repairs to the grenadilla wood body, and no finish wear to the keys. Even the factory gold stamping on the clarinet remains crisp with little-to-no fading. It is flawless top to bottom. Pads and corks are all still in superb shape, and the clarinet will get a final cleaning from our repair shop before shipping.

This is a very responsive clarinet; it takes your air very quickly and evenly and responds with a lively and robust tone. Its sound has a lot of depth and color, and while it is a bit forgiving, there is control there to allow for growth. Ships in its original hard case (also in like-new condition) with factory case cover.
