Description

This Yamaha YCL-255 student plastic clarinet is a GREAT player! It plays with a large robust tone that would be perfect for an aspiring student! There are many pro players that use these as their "road clarinet" because the plastic resists constant changes in temperature and humidity that can change or even destroy the playability of a wood clarinet. The Labels are a little bit worn on this instrument (pictured) however mechanically it is in outstanding condition, having just gone through a shop check and play-test. This instrument comes with a mouthpiece and its original case in fantastic condition! Don't let this gem slip away, this is the perfect horn for anyone looking to make some great honks.FeaturesNickelsilver alloy keysCase and Mouthpiece included

  • Sounds great, and is made of quality material
Am loving it so far! I was a high school clarinet player (about 30 years ago). My child is now playing the clarinet and I decided to purchase one to practice with them. It has a nice mellow tone and the quality seems pristine. Comes with a case that has a soft outer padding to help protect against accidental drops, etc. loving the shoulder strap as well! Has pocket for music book on the outside of the vase ... show more

  • Fantastic clarinet
I'm positive that I reviewed this before, but Amazon says I haven't so... My daughter used this through her entire first season of high school marching band has been very happy with it. The carrying case is a nice touch, and the clarinet sounds good.

  • Nice Clarinet with good bag
It’s nice clarinet and came with bag which is wary to carry conveniently.

  • Great instrument for beginners
Pretty nice quality, easy to tune and lightweight. Worth the money and sounds very nice.

  • Malfunctioning after several use
The quality of this clarinet is very concerning. The mouthpiece and cork of this clarinet are malfunctioning after several use. The seller refused to replace or repair.

  • Now you know! Debate ended!
Ok so, there are some reviews on this site that say it’s a knock off but they’re wrong. How do I know? Google translate!!! If you hold the camera option on it over the warranty card that comes with it (it’s Korean) it’ll translate the warranty and it’ll say it’s a legit ycl-255 for sale in Korea. It’ll say warranty is only good in Korea. But, you can pay the 77.00 for the amazon 4 year warranty or skip it and take it for repair if something goes wrong and you’re STILL not paying 1017.00 at Sam Ash or Musicians Friend!! I just got mine today and I’m keeping it. It’s the real deal, It sounds great and I saved 400.00. If something breaks I have 400.00 for repairs but....it’s pretty solid! Construction looks flawless. Beautiful instrument! Soft case is nice, and it’s not TOO soft so you can bang it around a bit. I only gave it 4 stars for beginners cause there’s a lot of clarinets that are cheaper but they’re probably made cheaper. I’ll post again in a few months if I can figure out how to do that with an update. Oh, and the sound is spot on! I’m pretty sure the R13 sounds better but not 3k dollars better lol ... show more

  • Yamaha is always the best. Got the best sound quality.
We bought a $100 cheap brand from Amazon for my son to use initially. That instrument lasted for one semester and things already started breaking down. Yamaha $700+ has the highest quality of sound and material. And this instrument is just the starter model. My son is happy because he finds playing this instrument easier to produce the same notes from a cheap one and has better sound. I guess you get what you pay for. ... show more
