The Yamaha Custom YCL-CSVR Bb Clarinet is designed for professional players seeking a focused sound and precise expressive control. With a traditional 65mm barrel and bell, the CSVR offers balanced resistance and strong tonal presence across all dynamics.

Leather pads ensure a warm tone and quiet key action, while thick key plating adds strength and resonance when projecting at high volumes. The ergonomic C#/G# key, made 2mm longer, enhances comfort and playability. With its adjustable thumb rest and built-in strap ring, the CSVR is a custom-level choice that balances refined tone with reliable on-stage comfort.

Crafted for refined tone and dynamic power

The CSVR delivers a beautiful, rich tone across the full dynamic range. The thicker key plating helps maintain tonal character and responsiveness, even when played loudly. This means you can project confidently in orchestral settings without sacrificing nuance or balance in quieter passages.

Traditional shapes for focused presence

A 65mm barrel and bell with traditional shaping ensure stable resistance and consistent airflow. The bell’s non-scalloped design strengthens the core of the tone, making the CSVR particularly strong in its projection and clarity—ideal for solo or ensemble performance.

Responsive mechanics built for comfort

With the C#/G# key extended by 2mm, players gain a more accessible and relaxed hand position. It’s a small but impactful detail that makes faster runs and longer sessions feel more natural. Paired with an adjustable thumb rest and strap ring, this model supports a comfortable setup tailored to the player.

Noise-free pads with premium durability

Leather pads are used throughout the CSVR, giving the instrument a soft but powerful sound with less mechanical noise. They also enhance long-term performance by resisting wear better than standard alternatives—reducing maintenance needs while preserving tone.
