YAMAHA Bb Professional Clarinet Model YCL61 Made of Grenadilla No cracks or repairs Serial number 006××× Superb condition Accessories Original hard case Case cover (Crampon) Original ligature (SP) Original cap YCL61 The professional model clarinet that the world's YAMAHA first challenged. A crystallization of large capital investment and Japanese technological prowess. The clarinet used by Buddy DeFranco, the best Jazz clarinetist of this century, was this YCL61. Due to the narrow inner diameter and YAMAHA's technical ability: 1. Overwhelming responsiveness. 2. Stable quality due to accurate design and manufacturing. 3. Accurate intonation and flexible balance. 4. Resistance that withstands strong playing and a bright, vibrant tone. 5. Durable design that can withstand heavy use. I understand why Mr. DeFranco chose it. About maintenance. 1. Body tone hole cleaning and oiling. 2. Complete pad replacement. 3. Spring cork inspection and partial replacement. 4. Key distortion correction and polishing. 5. Pad gap adjustment. 6. Ring height adjustment. 7. F1 (upper and lower joint connection) adjustment. 8. Lower joint CB connection adjustment. 9. Overall balance adjustment, fine-tuning. 10. Replacement of thumb rest to movable type. 11. Test playing and confirmation of all ranges. The adjustments are perfectly finished. The overwhelming responsiveness is still intact. I feel joy overflowing in the bright and vibrant tone. Extremely resonant! I am a clarinetist with 57 years of professional experience, but not a repairman. I learned本格的に (seriously/properly) repair from a Crampon technician when I was young. I am also asked to do adjustments by my fellow professional musicians. After retiring from the orchestra, I have performed in Berlin and New York. I have held numerous solo concerts and released three CDs, and I have participated in countless recordings and broadcasts. The fourth corner of my clarinet life! I hope to be of service to clarinet enthusiasts. It plays incredibly well. High notes with extension, transparent mid-range, and flexible low range! Energetic and vibrant, it's the best! I highly recommend it with confidence. Thank you for viewing.
