"The
new Yamaha 255S clarinet is the perfect start for young clarinet
students. Made from durable ABS resin they are easy to handle
and with the new adjustable thumb-rest and improved strap
ring, they are now more comfortable to play.
By removing
the metal ring from the bell we have made the instrument even
lighter yet it still remains very robust.
Accurate intonation and immediate response help students to
produce a round sound".
Silver-plated
keys
Silver-plated nickel silver keys give a softer, warmer sound.
New adjustable thumb-rest and strap ring
A new adjustable thumb-rest accommodates different sized hands
helping the player develop proper playing technique. In addition,
a strap ring allows for the instrument to be held without
extra effort. Firmer screws and silver soldered ring gives
this new feature excellent durability.
Newly redesigned bell
A new bell made only of solid and durable ABS resin plastic
results in a lighter instrument with improved response. A
resonance chamber in the bell aids in projection and improves
intonation in lower notes.
Barrel design
A 65mm barrel based on high-end Yamaha clarinet designs
produces a focused tone.
Matte finish
The attractive matte finish simulates the actual grain of
wood while providing the added durability of ABS resin plastic.
