Exceptional Student Bass Clarinet with a Modern Design

Specifically tailored to student and beginner bass clarinetists, the Yamaha YCL-221II student Bb bass clarinet combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements to deliver an eminently playable and extremely durable instrument. A unique 2-piece ABS resin body is resistant to normal wear and tear, and breaks down for easy transport in the YCL-221II’s compact case. The YCL-221II features a gorgeous nickel-silver neck and bell, in addition to hand-assembled nickel-plated keys with tan leather pads. To get you started, the YCL-221II includes a 4C mouthpiece with ligature and cap, cork grease, a neck strap, cleaning and polishing cloths, and a compact case. Start your musical journey off on the right foot with the Yamaha YCL-221II student Bb clarinet from Sweetwater!

Durable ABS resin 2-piece body

With a design based on Yamaha’s professional-level clarinets, the YCL-221II features a durable ABS resin body with a matte finish, which mimics the look and feel of grenadilla and exhibits a warm, rich tonality on par with wooden instruments. The YCL-221II will serve developing players well for years; it's resistant to damage caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity, and the occasional drops and dings, and it requires minimal maintenance. Plus, a 2-piece body design and compact case make the YCL-221II one of the most school-bus-friendly bass clarinets available.

Easy-to-play bass clarinet with excellent tone

The Yamaha YCL-2221II is engineered to provide exceptional playability. It includes a re-designed neck angle — the same found on Yamaha’s high-end bass clarinets — for increased comfort and a natural feel. Redesigned tone holes guarantee incredibly accurate intonation; a rounded bridge key connector mitigates key damage; and an innovative joint system eliminates air leaks and offers easy assembly.
