New 65mm barrel:
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. |
