Yamaha YCL-CSGIIIHL Custom Bb Clarinet with Hamilton Gold-Plated Keys and Pitch Correction System
*Please note - images shown are of the YCL-CSGIIIH which doesn't have the Pitch Correction System.
The Yamaha YCL-CSGIIIHL Custom Bb Clarinet is the same clarinet as the YCL-CSGIII but features 'Hamilton' gold-plated keywork. Hamilton plating consists of gold with some nickel and copper added and this adds durability and extra resonance to the keys.
The YCL-CSGIIIHL is suitable for any professional and offers a deep, rich tonal colour with superb resonance and powerful projection. This model also includes Yamaha's exclusive Pitch Correction System for low E/F.
Yamaha have re-analysed and re-evaluated literally every single design component and specification. From this, they created a new bell and barrel offering a tone of breathtaking richness and depth. The sound is warm yet has a clear focused centre surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in extraordinary beauty and expression.
Bell and Barrel
Slightly plump barrel and thick-walled bell produce a deep tone with rich resonance.
Improved key shape
Yamaha original silver-plating: Ergonomically-designed new key shape offers comfortable and natural key touch. Yamaha-original silver-plating is applied on them, allowing a focused and centered sound.
New Eb lever
A newly shaped Eb lever is adopted as a standard, along which the entire mechanism is totally re-designed as well.
Pads made of cork and leather
Cork pads and leather pads are optimally placed to maximize on their tonal quality, touch and functionality.
New toneholes
New toneholes maximize superior tone quality, even intonation and a uniformed response throughout the full range of the instrument.
New low E/F correction key
A Yamaha intonation correction mechanism inspired by the Oehler system (German style) clarinet is available to control low E and F note. This system assures natural finger control, excellent feel and playability.
