The result is an entirely new kind of clarinet-one which gives players a choice they have never had. It's called the 'CSG,'and it's an instrument that harks back to the purity of the natural resonance of aged grenadilla wood.
There's less metal used on the CSG, so the whole body reverberates with sound, while the new bore, barrel, and bell shapes offer a tonal richness of breathtaking depth.
The tone has a clear yet warm focused center surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in a sound of extraordinary beauty and expressivity which projects with remarkable ease even in the largest concert halls.
There's never been anything like this before

Features 

  • New bore design
    The YCL-CSGH features a newly improved bore design. With this bore design, we have found the sound to be warmer with a larger spectrum of tone colors and shadings. The player will also notice better flexibility and improved intonation.  
  • New bell design
    By eliminating the bell ring on this model, the tonal qualities become more enriched.
      
  • Hand-tapered undercut tone holes
    Skilled artisans hand taper and undercut each tone hole for superior tone quality, even intonation and a uniformed response throughout the full range of the instrument.
      
  • Hamilton-plated nickel silver keys
    The keys are constructed from a durable hard metal that prevents breakage and deformation that can alter the response over time. Gold (Hamilton)-plating will enhance the feel, featuring a balanced, light, comfortable touch 
     
  • Available features
    Adjustable thumb rest
  • Hamilton plated keys (YCL-CSGH)
