Seasoned grenadilla body and silver-plated keys
Grenadilla is the material of choice for professional-grade clarinets, due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent qualities, warm tone, and sumptuous visuals. For the YCL-681, Yamaha selected the highest-quality grenadilla, seasoned for improved performance and enhanced resistance to temperature and humidity fluctuations. The YCL-681 is populated with 17 sculpted, silver-plated keys, fitted with Lucien deluxe double-fishskin pads to provide a tight, consistent seal of the tone holes, offering a broad dynamic range with increased power and modulation at all volumes. Moreover, the YCL-681 sports tapered tone holes with a hand-tapered undercut, ensuring optimum intonation and a uniform response up and down the instrument.
