    £3,315.00
    • The YCL-CSGIIIL offers a deep, rich tonal colour with superb resonance and powerful projection. The L version includes our exclusive Pitch Correction System for low E/F.

      Yamaha re-analysed and re-evaluated literally every single design component and specification. From this, Yamahacreated a new bell and barrel offering a tone of breathtaking richness and depth. The sound is warm yet has a clear focused center surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in extraordinary beauty and expression.

       Bell and Barrel: Slightly plump barrel and thick-walled bell produce a deep tone with rich resonance.

    • New Eb lever: A newly shaped Eb lever is adopted as a standard, along which the entire mechanism is totally re-designed as well.
    • Pads made of cork and leather: Cork pads and leather pads are optimally placed to maximize on their tonal quality, touch and functionality.
    • New toneholes: New toneholes maximize superior tone quality, even intonation and a uniformed response throughout the full range of the instrument.

    Buffet RC Prestige Greenline Eb Clarinet
    £5,372.00
    • The RC Greenline series of clarinets follows the same manufacturing process and design as the 100% grenadilla RCs. Thanks to the addition of carbon fibres, Green Line clarinets withstand admirably to variations in atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity). The risk of cracking is therefore eliminated. Created in 1994, the Greenline series of instruments has taken advantage of the excess wood remaining from the clarinet manufacturing process. This process of combining grenadilla powder with carbon fibres produces a clarinet that is greatly resistant to environmental change and helps to relieve stress on the African grenadilla wood population.

      The mechanics are prepared and finished with great precision: milling holes inside the specifications according to the Buffet Crampon expertise. The mechanics are carefully assembled and adjusted by expert technicians.

      Due to its conical bore, the RC Prestige clarinet has a darker sound. In addition, the bore is hand-burnished, giving greater precision. This is important, as the bore is vital to good tuning. These models have reinforced tenons for added strength and upgraded Gore-Tex pads.

       Wooden body: Select unstained African blackwood for a warm and pure tone

    • Undercut tone holes: Improves tone and ease of response
    • Power forged silver plated keywork, pre-plated in copper, finished in silver plate: Long lasting finish and comfortable feel
    • Gore-Tex pads: Are long lasting and create a good seal
    • Bore: Poly-cylindrical upper joint, conical lower joint & bell
    • Egg-shaped inside bell shape: Greater sound emission
    • Metal capped tenons: For stability and a centered tone

    Yamaha YCL-450M Duet+ Bb Clarinet
    £995.00
    • Yamaha clarinets have achieved sound quality and superb intonation by dramatically improving precision and stability. Also to cope with various quality issues inherent in wooden instruments. Duet+ models employ innovative techniques to form a protective layer next to the air column. The combination of precious wood and state-of-the-art resin is not simply a “Duet” of tradition and technology – it’s a “Plus” advantage indeed
    • This innovative technology, which premiered with our oboes, has been brought to the clarinet after extensive engineering specific to the instrument. The upper joint body is drilled out slightly larger around the bore and tone-holes. Thermoplastic ABS resin is injected into the cavity, instantly forming the inner shape of a clarinet. It is designed to preserve as much virtue of traditional clarinets as possible, while its natural appearance is hardly distinguishable from conventional all-wooden models
    • A new register vent tube shape improves pronunciation in the second register. Whereas the YCL-450 needs sufficient air pressure for good response, the YCL-450M offers great response, even with low air pressure, making it easy to play even for children
    • A new adjustable thumb-rest accommodates different sized hands helping the player develop proper playing technique. In addition, a strap ring allows for the instrument to be held without extra effort. Firmer screws and a silver soldered ring give this new feature excellent durability
