Yamaha YCL-255 Bb Clarinet

The Yamaha YCL-255 Bb Clarinet is purpose-built for beginning students entering school band programs. The ABS resin body is highly resistant to the temperature and humidity changes that commonly cause wooden clarinets to crack, making it exceptionally durable in school and outdoor performance environments. Yamaha’s advanced bore design ensures accurate intonation across all registers, a critical feature for students developing their ear and playing technique. The nickel-silver key system is precisely fitted for reliable, consistent action that supports proper fingering habits from the very beginning. A comfortable thumb rest provides stable hand position during long practice sessions. The mouthpiece included with the YCL-255 is one of the best student mouthpieces available, contributing to easy tone production and clear sound. A quality ligature and synthetic reed are also included. The instrument is supplied in a sturdy ABS case with a swing-out design for easy assembly and storage. Yamaha’s quality control at the student level is unmatched, and the YCL-255 benefits from the same manufacturing standards applied to their professional instruments. Band directors across the country consistently recommend the YCL-255 as the most reliable entry-level clarinet available today.
