This is a Yamaha custom clarinet A, model YCL85. ● Condition There are some minor scratches, but it is generally clean. Although an overhaul would be ideal, it is playable as is. It is presumed to have been produced for nearly half a century, but it is in good condition for its age. ● Authenticity The Yamaha logo and YCL85 engraving can be confirmed. ● Items for Sale Mouthpiece, ligature, ligature cap, two barrels, upper joint, lower joint, bell, and hard case. ● Key Points This is an early Yamaha custom model, featured on the special website "History of Yamaha Wind Instruments." It was made shortly after Yamaha began producing clarinets for professionals, and it is evident that it was treated as a top-of-the-line clarinet. A clarinets tend to have more resistance than B♭ clarinets, but this instrument is easy to play and offers a soft tone. I believe it can perform well in orchestras. It is a good instrument that is in no way inferior to those of Buffet Crampon or Selmer. Honestly, I'm hesitant to sell it. I recommend it to those who can't afford expensive instruments but want to seriously play an A clarinet. I want to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.
