Yamaha CSVR Custom Bb Clarinet - Grenadilla

From Yamaha...

"The CSVR clarinet has been carefully refined to give players unrivalled freedom of expression. Several significant changes have been made to the design, allowing Yamaha to meet clarinetists’ desires for a beautifully dynamic instrument. With its rich expressive capabilities throughout the dynamic range and a tone with exceptional presence, Yamaha’s new CSVR sets new standards in professional clarinet craftsmanship.

-A thick key plating means that the CSVR has rich expressive capabilities, particularly when played loudly

-Durable leather pads are used for their rich tonal quality with the additional benefit of giving players a buzz-free playing experience.

-The 65 mm traditional barrel shape of the CSVR enhances the playing experience giving players a well-balanced response, and perfect resistance. The elegant new ‘R’ logo on the barrel emphasizes this beautifully refined instrument.

-Attention to detail was paramount when re-designing the CSV and by making the C#/G# key 2mm longer, the touch and playability have been greatly improved.

-The traditional bell shape without scallop chamber achieves tone with superb presence and a focused core.

-The adjustable thumb rest allows players to find the most comfortable setting. The addition of a strap ring gives players the option to distribute the weight of the instrument and relieve some of the strain of holding the instrument."
