Details

The Yamaha YCL-CSGIIIH 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-CSGIIIH is the same clarinet as the YCL-CSGIII, 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-CSGIIIH 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-CSGIIIH 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.
