A two-piece body and compact case design make this student bass clarinet the "school-bus-friendly" choice! The Yamaha Standard Bass Clarinet features an ABS resin body, which is resistant to temperature change. The machined bore offers a consistent sound and response in all registers.

Features

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Redesigned register tone hole: This tone hole was scientifically designed and placed for extremely accurate intonation.
• Rounded bridge key connector: The rounded key prevents key damage and eliminates the need to hold the keys when putting the instrument together.
• New joint system: The rubber rings surrounding the cork help to prevent air leaks, ease assembly and prevent keys from binding.
• 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.
