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. With case.
