Happy with the instrument having always played Yamaha
We bought a Yamaha YCL-650 as it was the best instrument to help me to the next level of player enjoyment. It sounds just terrific and is a dream to play!
An amazing experience. I love my Yamaha YCL-650-Bb clarinet, it is so easy to play. It simply sounds beautiful. I would recommend this model for people to try, as is so good.
Great sound and lovely to play
Lovely looking instrument
Beautiful instrument, along with the unstained wood and the silver keys that is so shiny that you can see yourself. It plays as well as it looks.
