YCL-450
|
The YCL-450 intermediate model clarinet
incorporates some of the distinct qualities
of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets.
One of these features is a 65mm barrel design
that produces a focused tone and quick response.
Players looking to "step-up" their performance
will do just that with this instrument.
New bell design Nothing can be more frustrating
than a soft sounding, out of tune instrument.
A new resonance chamber in the bell of the
YCL-450 aids in projection and improves
intonation in lower notes, allowing for
consistency and confidence. "Blue" steel
spring material Intermediate instruments
need to feel different than student model
instruments. Part of making the YCL-450
"feel" better is the upgrade in spring material.
Blue steel springs give the keys a lighter
touch and feel while producing a smooth,
quick action. Sculptured, silver-plated
keys The silver-plated keys provide not
only an enhanced appearance, but also a
wonderful feel for the players. In order
to make the keys to the appropriate strength
level, a technique called power forging
is used. The result of this hi-tech process
are keys that are exceptionally durable
and contoured to the best possible ergonomic
shape. Straight tone holes with tapered
undercut Yamaha intermediate model instruments
set themselves aside with their use of professional
materials and features. Straight tone holes
with tapered undercuts provide outstanding
intonation and response making the YCL-450
play like a pro model instrument.
