Yamaha YCL CSVRL ASP Custom Clarinet

New Standard inspired by artists

The CSVR ASP (CSVR Atelier Special) clarinets have been carefully refined by Yamaha Artisans to give players unrivalled freedom of expression. 

A number significant modification have been made to the instrument's design allowing Yamaha to deliver a clarinet that meets clarinetist's desires for a higher standard of clarinet. Its beautiful tone, rich expressive capabilities throughout the dynamic range, and a tone with exceptional presence, Yamaha's CSVR-ASP sets new standards in professional clarinet craftsmanship.

Original Initial Plate: The unique diamond shape initial plated introduced on the flagship line up unmistakably identifies Yamaha high-end clarinets. It is easily recognizable from a distance, clearly distinguishing Yamaha artists and the instruments they use.

Tenon Metal Rings: CSVR-ASP models feature the tenon rings, for improved definition and projection

New Eb Lever: The newly designed lift linkage system on Eb lever achieves smooth key action.

Refined Key Shape: An ergonomically engineered shape that offers a more natural, comfortable playing feel has been adopted for the A and register keys.

Left-hand F/C Key Linkage: Screw type linkage improves playing feel and reduces wear.

Two Barrels Supplied: Two barrels of different length, 65 mm and 66 mm are supplied. The player can choose the barrel that is best suited to the pitch of the performance.

Low Note Correction Key : Yamaha's original low-note compensation key is available as an option that can help prevent the low F and E notes from sounding flat, particularly when playing powerful passages. The key fits within the lower joint for optimum effectiveness.
