The New Bass Clarinet with Pro-Neck Angle

BUENA PARK, CA (July 24, 2001) — The YCL-221 bass clarinet from Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, boasts the new pro-neck angle, a design exclusive to this model, allowing for a natural playing position.

"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 matte finish ABS body on the YCL-221 provides a better appearance, warmer sound, excellent response, and a lighter weight than a grenadilla wood body. The register tonehole position 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.
