YAMAHA'S YCL-221 BASS CLARINET ALLOWS FOR COMFORTABLE PLAYING
ANAHEIM, CA—The YCL-221 bass clarinet from Yamaha Corporation
of America, Band & Orchestral Division, making its debut
at Winter NAMM 2002, boasts the new pro-neck angle. The pro-neck
angle is exclusive to this model and enables a more natural
playing position.
The matte finish ABS body on the YCL-221 provides a better
appearance by showing fewer handling marks, warmer sound, excellent
response, and a lighter weight than a grenadilla wood body.
The position of the register tonehole is scientifically designed
for extremely accurate intonation and the easy-to-assemble joint
system and rounded key connector make this an ideal instrument
for students. The smaller-sized case design makes it easy to
carry the clarinet back and forth to school, and requires less
storage space.
"The YCL-221 adds many new features to improve comfort
while playing, reducing the risk of future problems associated
with bad posture during rehearsals," stated Kurt Witt,
Wind Instrument product manager.
The YCL-221 is currently available.
