Manufacturer's Description

When designing the YCL-450 Series, we conceived it as an instrument that a player just starting out, would want to continue playing well into the future. These are all Grenadilla instruments designed with the know-how gained through years of experience crafting professional level instruments. The YCL-450M additionally features our “Duet+” treatment applied to the instrument bore making the instrument more durable and less susceptible to the effects of humidity and temperature.

Yamaha's Unique Duet+ Technology

Yamaha Duet+ Bore

Insert Moulding

Yamaha is premiering this new technique (patent pending) to bring a reasonable solution to the intermediate family. The upper joint body is drilled out slightly larger around the bore and toneholes. Thermoplastic ABS resin is injected into the cavity, instantly forming the inner shape of an clarinet. It is designed to preserve as much as 90% of the wooden portion, while its natural appearance is hardly distinguishable from conventional all-wooden models. This also ensures that under different environmental conditions the bore of the instrument remains stable.

Toneholes

Upper-joint toneholes (except metal octave vents) are moulded simultaneously with the resin bore.

Joint tenon

The upper joint tenon is also formed as an extension to the resin bore. This ensures smooth connection between the joints even under moist conditions.
