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.
