Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha’s YCL-255 is a standard Bb clarinet built around a matte ABS-resin body, nickel-plated keys, and a 65 mm barrel. The barrel is designed for a more focused sound, while the bell’s resonance chamber supports projection and intonation in the lower register. Its adjustable thumb rest and strap ring let players set up the hand support around different hand sizes. It ships with a CL-4C mouthpiece.
