Yamaha YCL-CX B-flat clarinet

The Yamaha CX Custom professional B-flat clarinet has a full round sound with an immediate clarity to the tone. It has inset toneholes and a silver-plated bell ring, both of which contribute to the presence and openness of its tone.

• Wooden (grenadilla) body
• Silver-plated nickel silver keys
• Undercut hand-tapered toneholes
• Silver-plated ligature and cap
• Adjustable thumb rest with strap ring
• Yamaha 4CM mouthpiece
• Leather pads
• 65 mm barrel
• Case included

The designation CX is apparently derived from the word ‘chalumeau’ (pl. ‘chalumeaux’), a predecessor to the Baroque clarinet, as an homage to the traditions of clarinet making.
