Developing with the artists
Although we've accomplished much in our storied history, Yamaha continues to seek ways to improve our products. For this reason, we foster relationships with a diverse range of artists, performers and musicians. Their feedback has proven to be invaluable in helping us craft instruments for all levels of players, from students to professionals.
Sustainable musical instruments manufacturing
At Yamaha, living in harmony with people and the planet is at the heart of everything we do. For this reason, Yamaha creates instruments that are friendly to the environment and society.
Two Unique Custom Clarinet Series: CS & SE
What’s an ideal clarinet? Our master craftsmen spent years devoted to basic research in answering that fundamental question. All preconceptions were discarded.
The results of that exhaustive and essential work were actualized in fine detail and refined through extensive artist evaluations, leading to the birth of the unique CS and SE series clarinets.

CS Series
Tone: A solid tonal core and excellent definition well suited for solo playing. Also makes for an excellent orchestral clarinet.
Playing feel: You’ll find performance to feel natural and comfortable, resulting in outstanding tone and extended projection. The instrument responds effortlessly to your breath volume.
SE Series
Tone: An excellent choice for ensembles, the SE Series produces a rich and luxurious tone that envelops the audience.
Playing feel: A gently flared bore produces tone that expands radially from the player. The expressive range is broad, allowing the player to produce the ideal tone in any musical situation without wasted breath.
