Get an Instrument Treated to Guard Against Humidity with the Yamaha YCL-450NM Intermediate Bb Clarinet Outfit

The ABS resin injection-molded upper joint inner bore of this Duet Plus intermediate Bb clarinet provides the optimal combination of durability and tone quality for student musicians.

When designing the YCL-450 Series, Yamaha conceived it as an instrument that a player just starting out would want to continue playing well into the future. These are all Grenadilla instruments designed with the know-how gained through years of experience crafting professional level instruments. The YCL-450NM additionally features their Duet+ treatment applied to the instrument bore making the instrument more durable and less susceptible to the effects of humidity and temperature.
