The Yamaha YCL‑255 is a standout student Bb clarinet that combines Yamaha’s renowned craftsmanship with beginner-friendly features. It delivers a warm, resonant tone reminiscent of wooden clarinets, thanks to its ABS resin body with a matte finish that visually mimics grenadilla wood and offers enhanced durability and weather resistance

This model includes thoughtful ergonomic touches such as an adjustable thumb rest (with strap ring) to accommodate players with smaller hands and support proper technique as they grow . It’s also noted for its consistent performance in a variety of environments — great for outdoor use or varying climates

The clarinet features a 65 mm barrel adapted from Yamaha’s professional instruments, which contributes to a clear, focused tone and better projection . It ships as a complete starter kit, including a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, ligature, cap, and a plush-lined hard shell case
