Yamaha YCL221II student Bb bass clarinet outfit

Introducing the Yamaha YCL221II student Bb bass clarinet outfitThe first thing to mention about this stunning YCL221II bass clarinet is the fact that it has the same basic body specifications and tonehole designs as Yamaha's pro model bass clarinets. Consequently the instrument is capable of producing a surprisingly full, rich sound which bears remarkable similarity to that made by much more expensive, wooden models.The instrument features 19 keys, 7 covered finger holes and is made from ABS plastic which makes it much more practical for the school environment and for younger players as it's not only lightweight but it is much more durable to and easy to maintain. The two-piece construction allows it to be carried around easily in its compact carry case.Design Based on pro modelWe use the same materials and special crafting techniques as on our pro model YCL-621 to form the bell and neck giving improved roundness for better resonance. All key systems were also designed based on the 621 for smooth comfortable performance.A natural neck angleThe YCL-221 boasts a neck angle similar to a soprano clarinet for natural feeling comfort, endurance, and playability. Only Yamaha with its hightech production capability can offer this neck angle on a student model.Easy to hold, play and maintainThe YCL-221 key positioning is ergonomically designed for comfort, while the ABS resin body is much lighter than wooden models making it easier to hold and play, And the attractive matte finish looks the same as a pro Grenadilla model. After extensive research, Yamaha metallurgists have come up with a new stronger alloy for the key mechanism. This enhanced durability is especially important on a bass clarinet with its long key rods. The positioning and size of the register key tonehole was scientifically determined to give the most accurate intonation and strong tonal projection. The new register key mechanism has been created for stable smooth action.Easy to assembleA rounded key connector ensures that the keys fit together during assembly of the upper and lower joints. And Yamaha's unique combination of natural cork complemented by synthetic rings facilitates effortless assembly. The thumbhook is adjustable for comfortable positioning of the right hand. Made of ABS resin, it can flex a little to prevent chaffing, but is extremely strong.Compact caseBecause the YCL-221 body separates into two pieces, it fits into a very compact and lightweight case. This attractive and stylish case is made to stack for easy storage, and offers extremely durable protection for the instrument.What's in the outfit?Yamaha 4C mouthpiece with capSilver-plated ligatureCompact lightweight case with shoulder straps and storage pocketCork grease and polishing clothOur Yamaha clarinet rangeYamaha YCL255S student Bb clarinet outfitYamaha YCL450 step-up Bb clarinet outfitYamaha YCL650 intermediate Bb clarinet outfitYamaha YCLCX Custom series semi-professional Bb clarinet outfitYamaha YCLCXA Custom series semi-professional A clarinet outfitYamaha YCLCSGIII Custom series semi-professional Bb clarinet outfitYamaha YCLCSGAIII Custom series semi-professional A clarinet outfitYamaha YCL221II student Bb bass clarinet outfit Claim your FREE 5 years extended warrantyYou can now extend your warranty on your new* Yamaha woodwind or brass instrument from 2 years to 5 years, absolutely free!
