631 NMO

Jupiter 631 clarinets feature adjustable thumb rests with strap attachment and neck straps to address the growing concern among teachers and physicians about problems with joints, tendons and other hand ailments resulting from students supporting clarinets on their thumb.

The key work on this clarinet is super strong, much stronger than other leading brand clarinets. The crows foot sits in a recess in the body, so accidental bending of the key has been dramatically reduced.

The 631NMO clarinet provides beginners with a bigger sound and better response. Incorporating a slightly larger .583” bore and offset trill key configuration, the 631NMO’s improved scale provides better playability and intonation.

The larger .583” bore creates a freer blowing instrument that younger players can control with ease. The French offset trill key configuration provides a bigger sound than the inline key configuration, while helping students to get accustomed to a feature that is the market standard on professional clarinets.

YCL 200AD

New Barrel Design
The YCL-200AD Advantage model clarinet incorporates some of the distinct qualities of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets. One of these features is a 65mm barrel design that produces a focused tone and quick response. This will help new students in finding those hard to hit first pitches while giving an edge to students who have been playing a while longer.

New Bell Design
Nothing can be more frustrating to new students who are learning notes and fingerings for the first time than a soft sounding, out of tune instrument. A new resonance chamber in the bell of the YCL-200AD aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes, allowing for the consistency and confidence in learning things correctly the first time.

Valentino Pads
Everyone knows the rigorous lifestyle that a student model instrument endures. It only makes sense to use equipment that will match the lifestyle. Valentino pads are more durable, easier to repair, and less sensitive to temperature changes than other pads making them the student model choice.

Matte Finish
The look of this plastic model is reminiscent of the more expensive wood models due to its matte finish. This attractive finish simulates the actual grain of wood while providing the advantage of a durable ABS resin material. Students will no longer feel uncomfortable playing their plastic model next to other students with wood models.

Yamaha YCL 400AD

65mm Barrel
The YCL-400AD Advantage wood clarinet incorporates some of the distinct qualities of Yamaha's professional and custom clarinets. One of these features is a 65mm barrel design that produces a focused tone and quick response. Players looking to "step-up" their performance will do just that with this instrument.

Bell Design
Nothing can be more frustrating than a soft sounding, out of tune instrument. A New resonance chamber in the bell of the YCL-400AD aids in projection and improves intonation in lower notes, allowing for consistency and confidence.

"Blue" Steel Spring Material
Part of making the YCL-400AD "feel" better is the upgrade in spring material. Blue steel springs give the keys a lighter touch and feel while producing a smooth, quick action.

Sculptured, Nickel-Plated Keys
The nickel-plated keys provide a more clear and focused tone. Also, the nickel-plated keys of the YCL-400AD provide a good alternative for people who have an allergic reaction to silver-plating. In order to make the keys to the appropriate strength level, a technique called power forging is used. The results of this hi-tech process are keys that are exceptionally durable and contoured to the best possible ergonomic shape.

Straight Tone Holes With Tapered Undercut
Straight tone holes with tapered undercuts provide outstanding intonation and response making the YCL-400AD play like a pro-model instrument.
