 Yamaha resonance chamber
Author: Arhoolie

Hi

I just got my first clarinet - a Yamaha ycl450.

The spec boasts: New resonance chamber in bell, for improved projection & intonation.

Now in examining the bell there is no sign of anything I would think of as a chamber. There is a shallow groove inside the bore, just below the join. Is that it?

Yep, that groove in the bell is what's supposed to do it.

The Yamaha Allegro (ycl550) has the same thing. I agree, it's not much of a chamber, but it kinda works. I think it helps the E/B and F#/C#, but maybe I'm just biased because I like the gold plated key posts =Þ.

On my CSv B flat, there is this chamber, and from what I can tell, it works. My low E and F are not flat. However, on my CS A clarinet which does not have that chamber, the low E and F are like most clarinets.. flat... but not to a degree that makes them unusable...

Some say the Yamaha resonance chamber is located in the same place as the improved tone due to the Hamilton plated keys!
