Yamaha Bass Clarinet (YCL-221 II) has a tone quality that is very close to that of a professional instrument. Its easy playability and accurate intonation will help any young musician sound better.
Never before has there been a student model bass clarinet with such a rich, warm sound. It’s hard to believe it isn't made of top grade grenadilla. The secret of this remarkable bass clarinet is the fact that it has the same basic body specifications and tone hole designs as the Yamaha pro model bass clarinets. And it looks as beautiful as it sounds: a special matte finish gives the durable ABS Resin body the look of a wooden clarinet. No one but Yamaha can give you such quality for such a price.
The YCL221 Yamaha Bass Clarinet is the most popular standard instrument of its type we sell. Yamaha always offers the best build quality and design, offering the player long-lasting playability. The Materials to make this instrument are first class, servicing costs are generally less than most other standard Bass Clarinets.

Features:
1) Matte Finished ABS Resin Body:
The matte finish gives the clarinet a much better appearance, while the ABS resin body makes the clarinet more lightweight and very durable while giving it a warmer sound and an excellent response.
2) Redesigned Neck Angle
The neck angle is now the same as that of the professional models, resulting in a much more comfortable and natural playing position.
3) Leather Pads with Plastic Resonators
These pads (also used on our saxophones) are longer lasting and provide a better feel with increased projection than standard clarinet pads.
4) Redesigned Register Tone Hole
This tone hole was scientifically designed and placed for extremely accurate intonation.
5) Rounded Bridge Key Connector
The rounded key prevents key damage and eliminates the need to hold the keys when putting the instrument together.
6) New Joint System
The rubber rings surrounding the cork help to prevent air leaks, ease assembly, and prevent keys from binding.
7) Compact ABS Case
This durable lightweight case is smaller and easier for children to carry, making it much more bus-friendly. This case is also stackable and will take up much less space in the band room.
