[Features]

Yamaha continued to listen to the requests of players and never stopped making improvements even after the release of the V series in 1996.

In pursuit of an even more supple sound, the Vmaster series was released eight years later.

The YCL-SEVmaster is a model that has evolved further by pursuing further improvements based on the SE-V.

By adopting a C#/G# rising tone hole, the sound is improved, and smooth breath flow and agile response are achieved.

In addition, the use of leather pads with excellent airtightness allows for a richer tone.

Combines a full, mellow sound with a crisp tone

[Leather pads with a focus on sound]

It is easy to blow into and can be blown without stress, making it easier to produce a softer sound.

Since the surface membrane of the pad does not vibrate when playing, there is no noise (pad ringing) associated with vibration.

The high airtightness allows the breath to go straight to the bell, making it easy to deliver a soft sound far away.

[A body that produces a high-quality tone]

Selected wood* is used for the barrel, upper tube, lower tube, and bell.

*Selected wood...By selecting natural wood according to certain standards, we prevent unevenness in quality and sound.

The surface is also covered with a natural paint that further brings out the resonance of the material.

It does not hide the texture of the wood grain, and brings out a sophisticated image visually.

[Bell and barrel that enrich the resonance]

The breath that enters through the mouthpiece passes through the barrel and comes out as sound from the bell.

The barrel and bell, which are the passageway for the breath, can have a significant effect on the resonance, tone, and pitch, even with a small taper difference of the width of a hair.

The barrel is shaped to efficiently bridge the power of the breath to the main body of the instrument. The area near the mouthpiece is slightly thinner, and the lower half is thicker.

The bell has a unique Yamaha groove on the inside, which stabilizes the pitch of B.

[Thick key plating and acoustic annealing]

Thick key plating increases the volume of the keys, making it easier to receive the powerful breath of the player.

Prevents sound distortion and makes it easier to express richer in ff.

In addition, the increased resistance caused by the thick plating is adjusted with heat treatment using our unique know-how to achieve a balanced resistance with no variation across the entire range.

[Rising sound hole]

The C#/G# sound hole is designed to be larger than the diameter and longer.

The sound quality of C#/G# has been improved, and the pitch of the high note F has been improved.

[Joint ring]

By equipping the joint part with a ring made of nickel silver, a richer sound is achieved that is appropriate for the SE concept.

Since the inner diameter is less likely to change, it also prevents changes in the fit.

Excellent operability allows you to express yourself without worrying about your fingers

[Movable finger hook with strap ring]

Equipped with a movable finger hook with a ring.

By setting it in a position that is easy for you to operate, you can prevent pain and fatigue in your thumb.

Even small hands can finger it comfortably, and the position can be changed at any time as the player improves and grows.

You can attach a strap to the ring as needed to play.

[Ergonomically designed, comfortable touch register key]

The highly acclaimed register key, already installed in the flagship model, has also been adopted in this model.

The ergonomically designed shape is long and easy to press.

It fits naturally to the movement of the fingers while playing, providing a comfortable touch.

It is designed to be balanced not only with operability but also with sound and resonance.

[The key returns accurately, allowing the left hand to be operated without shaking]

The left hand F/C lever, which is relatively short and prone to poor movement, has a mechanism with an adjustment screw at the connection point.

The key returns more accurately, allowing the left hand to be operated without shaking. In addition, the touch has been improved.

It is less prone to wear and is easy to maintain, making it easy to maintain the best operability for a long time.

[Keys that fit your hand reduce touch errors]

Equipped with a long E/B lever and C#/G# keys.

Prevents your fingers from falling off while playing and reduces touch errors.

Beautiful in appearance, with a shape that fits your index finger better *Key: A model only

The E♭/B♭ ​​trill key and F#/C# trill key are shaped to fit your index finger better.

Smooth curved shape that is also beautiful in appearance.
