The dark grenadilla body with silver-plated keys looks the part, and leather pads borrowed from Yamaha's professional line make it seal and speak the way a step-up horn should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrenadilla body, silver-plated Boehm keywork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is responsibly sourced grenadilla, the timber used on professional clarinets, in the standard Boehm system so no fingerings change from a student model. Silver-plated keys give a smooth feel under the fingers and stay looking good with a polishing cloth now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeather pads for a consistent seal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeather pads, taken from Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets, seal the holes more consistently than the usual student pads. The player gets a wider dynamic range, more power at forte, more control at pianissimo and a quieter mechanism, and the pads last longer as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e65mm barrel, straight holes with a tapered undercut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 65mm barrel is the standard length for pulling to pitch in a warm Australian rehearsal room. The holes are straight with a tapered undercut, and Yamaha reworked the bell and bore taper to keep the low register clear and the tuning even from the chalumeau up to the clarion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable thumb-rest with a strap ring, 4C mouthpiece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thumb-rest adjusts to the player's hand and carries a strap ring, so a neck strap can take the weight during long sessions. It comes with Yamaha's 4C mouthpiece, the student standard a teacher can work with from the first lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYCL-450\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBarrel Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eToneholes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight tone holes with tapered undercut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eThumb-rest\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable with strap ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619713249570,"sku":"YCL450","price":2549.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/11443-1__63019.1788332342.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790231867","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-ycl450-intermediate-clarinet-ycl-450","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
