Yamaha YCL-CSGIIIL Lever Key - Bb Clarinet
Product Information
Yamaha have redesigned and reinvented the previous CSG model to present this new CSGIII. And, they have done a seriously good job!
Assisted by top UK professional Michael Collins and other European Yamaha artists this new model oozes quality and is meticulously produced to the highest standards.
Both the bell and barrel have been redesigned from the original CSG clarinet, these changes add more warmth and resonance to the instrument. The CSGIIIL also benefits from new sleeker key modelling, redesigned tonehole positions and design, and correct use of leather and cork pads at various points of the instrument. All these improvements add to the projection and feel of pro quality.
The L model also has the low E & F correction key that raises the pitch of the low E or F which are commonly a little flat due to the nature of clarinet bore design. This is especially useful when playing against a statically tuned instrument like a Piano.
Lets be clear, the Pro market is dominated by Buffet, with the R13 outselling others by far. We genuinely believe this is the first clarinet at a similar price that could seriously beat an R13 on tone and projection, it goes without saying that the Yamaha build quality is also second to none.
- Supplied with 2 Barrels (54mm and 55mm)

Yamaha YCL-CSGIIIL Lever Key - Bb Clarinet Reviews
This is such an excellent bit of kit. The tone of the clarinet is consistent throughout the range. Two areas of note here are the throat notes which are usually thin and feeble and on the YCL-CSGIIIL this was a pleasant surprise. The second area was the Clarion register. Wow! this is a dream to play in. The sound is vibrant and bright being very clear and easy to produce. The extra toys on the clarinet are of course very useful. Notably, the left hand Eb/G# key and the lever key to help with intonation very low. This clarinet is a joy to play and if you have the opportunity to try it out, you will not want to return it. I purchased the clarinet from Dawkes in Maidenhead. I have dealt with this company for nearly thirty years. Their customer service and attention to detail are excellent. Dawkes are my first choice with anything woodwind. Thank you.
