The YCL-650II is the newest version of the versatile Yamaha 650 clarinet. An excellent alternative for those who are serious about their clarinet performance but need to watch their budget. Building on the phenomenal value of the 650 platform, the YCL-650II model offers improved tone & pitch with other upgrades further enhancing the clarinets already fantastic value! The specifications of its bell, barrel, toneholes and other features are very close to those of the Custom SEV model, so its sound is warm, round, and deeply resonant. Made of carefully select and seasoned Grenadilla wood and boasting an enormous amount of handcrafting and hand finishing, the 650 features tapered toneholes which are undercut by hand for precise intonation and superior tonal balance.

Yamaha clarinet designers continuously appraise and examine the needs of clarinetists at all levels of performance, with the goal of delivering instruments that, through repeated evaluation and refinement, fulfill their musical ideals. The improvements seen in the YCL-650II focus on two goals: further refined tonal qualities and a more dynamic playing feel. With these aspirations, both growing and seasoned musicians can now more than ever focus on the music they are creating instead of whether or not their instrument will perform up to their professional level standards. All this at the familiar and budget friendly price the YCL-650 has come to be known by!

The YCL-650II 2nd Generation model sees the popular upgrade to leather pads. This improves pad life, seal and overall tonal performance compared to the traditional skin pads of the original 650.
