Yamaha Clarinet Ycl 26

[Berniece Leonhardt]

Theclarinet is a good example of the natural branching-out of musical instruments over time. Although it's a woodwind it was first developed in the early 1700s to solve a brass instrument problem: the difficulty for the era's trumpets (which lacked valves) to play the high or "clarion" register. Clarinets went through many changes over the centuries leading to the primary modern variants - the Bb clarinet and bass clarinet. The instrument also transitioned through several woods before settling on the Grenadilla wood used on high-quality clarinets today. As a single-reed instrument the clarinet offers players their choice of mouthpieces and ligatures as well as reeds in natural cane or synthetic materials to achieve their desired tonal qualities.

Due to its popularity and versatility the clarinet is widely produced by many manufacturers. Some brands such as Allora are particularly well-known for their easy-to play student Bb clarinet models. Other nameplates carry a broad selection for musicians of all skill levels including Yamaha whose models run from the beginner to advanced levels. Buffet is considered by most to be the leading name in clarinets.

Yamaha Clarinets are some of the most respected and loved clarinets on the market. Respected by artists and teachers across the world, Yamaha clarinets are known for quality, consistency and performance! Whether it is for the student musician who needs a reliable clarinet with excellent intonation or for the professional player who needs the utmost of performance, Yamaha clarinets can meet the need of the musician.

In fact, the Leblanc and the Yamaha clarinets have served to completely change the problem of having to have a technician live with you and tune your Buffet, whch, after an expensive tuning and regulation, will play about as well as the others.I have a few Amatis which are easily comparable to any of the others, and beat them on price by quite a little.

This clarinet is easily the most popular clarinet in Australia. It's affordable, durable, widely-approved by music teachers, and gives the new student the ability to learn without fighting the instrument. It plays in tune with a great sound, and the case is rugged and convenient.

The Yamaha YCL-255 Student Clarinet is the perfect start for young clarinet students, made from durable ABS resin that's easy to handle and even more comfortable to play. The bell of the Yamaha Student Clarinet is also made from the ABS resin, simultaneously reducing its weight and improving its response. The resonance chamber in the bell also aids in projection and improves intonation in the lower register. The metal ring from the bell has been removed so that the instrument is even lighter, yet still robust. The Yamaha Clarinet's accurate intonation and immediate response help produce a round sound.

This item is categorized as Used / Demo Stock but it is still in MINT CONDITION - like new! This clarinet comes in a NEW case with a NEW mouthpiece, ligature and moutpiece cap, as well as all NEW accessories including a cleaning swab, polishing cloth, cork grease and (2) starter reeds. Demo stock simply means that the instrument was used as a display to promote Yamaha instruments or for other promotional purposes. We only have a few of these available and this special offer will be removed once we sell out.

Accidents happen, so most customers include Damage Protection with their lease-to-own plan. Damage protection is very affordable and covers the cost of all required repairs to the instrument while you are making lease payments.

In most cases, the cost of one minor repair exceeds the cost of an entire year of Damage Protection! Without Damage Protection, you could end up making payments on a broken instrument in need of costly repairs.

Damage protection coverage ranges from $3-$5/month with your lease-to-own plan, depending on the instrument. If The InstrumentPlace determines that the cost of repair exceeds the value of the instrument, we replace it at no charge.

We encourage you to always do the math and read the fine print when you shop around at other stores. Even if another monthly payment seems competitive, the payment plans at other stores often include an inflated overall price and/or interest. You could unknowingly enter into a contract requiring payments for several years and end up paying full retail or MORE.

The Instrument Place began as a local Los Angeles musical instrument store, serving surrounding schools and music programs across Southern California. Since its opening, this local musical instrument shop has expanded nationwide into a one-stop online musical instrument store, designed for all ages to learn about and listen to the different types of brass, stringed and woodwind instruments. It is our mission to get an instrument into the hands of everyone who wants to play music!

The Standard Series are made out of high-quality phenol resin (plastic) and feature a design based upon the top grade Custom Series. They are extremely consistent in specifications and playing quality, and offer excellent value for their price. The facing of this series is slightly shorter than that of the Custom Series making them easier to play, and easier for beginning students to achieve a rich characteristic clarinet sound. They also are available in a variety of sizes, to suit the needs of players of many different styles.

The Valentino Green Back pad has gained tremendous

popularity and success among repair technicians, as well as professional

musicians and band directors. And many stores prefer them in their rental stock

because of their durability and long life. Two of the major band instrument

of their student clarinets.
