The Yamaha YCL-CSGAIIIH custom clarinet is a combination of craftsmanship and technology utilising the most advanced techniques. It offers a clear warm tone, suitable for any professional.
The Yamaha YCL-CSGAIIIH is the same clarinet as the YCL-CSGAIII, but with "Hamilton" gold plated keys. Hamilton plating consists of gold, with some nickel and copper added. It is named after the Hamilton Watch Company, who used this plating on their watches in the 1950-70 period. It is a pale-yellow colour, understated but distinctly warm and is the hardest and most durable of gold-plating. The Hamilton plating makes a noticeable difference to the tone of the instrument, making it darker, while adding tonal clarity and projection. A totally different sound to the CSG, but the only difference is the plating.
The YCL-CSGAIIIH Custom clarinet is the culmination of years of development. Developed closely with Jerome Voisin, solo clarinet with Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the new CSG has a warm yet focused sound, surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in extraordinary beauty and expression.
The barrel on the YCL-CSGAIIIH has a thicker wall and is now 1.5mm shorter than the previous model. This new configuration gives the player a deep tone colour with rich resonance as well as creating more resistance.
A change to the tone hole design has maximised the balance between intonation and projection and a new, thicker plating has created a more flexible instrument creating an intense, brilliant sound. This all adds to the instrument's projection.
The Yamaha YCL-CSGAIIIH comes in a superb double case, enabling you to transport your A clarinet together with your Bb model. There are two parts to the case, an inner hard case and an outer fabric shell, allowing for different options depending on your circumstances. If you need to carry your instrument in a back-pack, you can remove the outer shell and just use the sturdy hard case. Otherwise, the outer shell provides multiple options for carrying, along with plenty of storage.
The outer case features a large, zipped music pocket plus two smaller zipped pockets for accessory storage, one of which contains a pouch for a phone and pen holders. On the rear there is a large zipped pocket which houses the back-pack straps when not in use. The back-pack straps can quickly and easily be removed and attached to metal rings as a convenient carrying option. There is also a sturdy side handle, top subway handle and a detachable shoulder strap.
Inside the hard inner case is storage for the YCL-CSGAIIIH clarinet and your Bb model. In addition, there is space for 3 barrels (this model comes with 2) and an area for cork grease.
This case is extremely versatile, practical and strong with a modern design.
