Yamaha YCL-450N Intermediate Bb Clarinet, originally purchased new in 2008. Crafted from select Grenadilla wood and featuring nickel-plated keys, this is the premier step-up model recommended by band directors worldwide for advancing students making the leap from a plastic beginner instrument.

It features a surprisingly warm, rich tone and exceptional intonation. Included with the clarinet is the original hard shell case, a mouthpiece, and a ligature.

Condition: Good

This instrument is in fine working order and fully playable, but exhibits standard cosmetic imperfections from honest use:

 Body & Wood: The Grenadilla wood sections are intact and structurally sound.

 Keys & Hardware: The nickel-plated keywork shows some typical surface tarnish, light scratching, and cosmetic wear consistent with its age, but all keys move freely and smoothly.

 Pads & Corks: The joints and pads are functional, though depending on the player's preference, it may benefit from a standard routine check-up/tune-up by a technician to ensure a perfect airtight seal.
