Yamaha is offering a matte finish ABS resin bass clarinet with a tone quality very close to that of a professional wood model. It’s the YCL-221II, whose design is based on that of our professional YCL-621II. This instrument boasts several important new features, including a neck angle similar to that of a soprano clarinet, and a unique joint connector which makes it easy to assemble the main body - thus permitting a compact case.
CX comes from “Chalumeaux,” a historical musical instrument that is considered to be the origin of the clarinet.
The CX design pays homage to this tradition.
