This review is from: Yamaha YCL250 Clarinet

We bought the YCL-250 clarinet in 2005 for our daughter as she started band at school. My online research then indicated that this instrument, though not the cheapest option, was highly recommended for beginners. We compared it against a few other similarly priced pieces, but this Yamaha clarinet had the best fit and finish at this price point. Its case was also much better than others that we viewed. It still plays well and we have not had to incur any repairs on it. If I was looking for a student clarinet today, I would pick another YCL-250.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent starter clarinet, November 30, 2009

This review is from: Yamaha YCL250 Clarinet

I originally had purchased a beginning wooden Selmer clarinet when I first started music in the 6th grade. Once I got to high school, I bought one of these since I had to march outside. It's a very durable instrument and has a good sound considering it's plastic. I'm now in a college marching band and the clarinet is 5 years old, but still plays very well well. The keywork is also very good for a starter clarinet (at least mine was, anyway). The metal is durable enough that it won't bend from normal use, even after many years. Highly recommended.

This horn immediately speaks quality. My daughter is a rookie but is coming along well with this Yamaha. My family is very pleased with this purchase and I could not find any better deal but Amazon. Thanks.
