Hi all,
I have a Yamaha-651 Bb clarinet and want an A clarinet to match. I’m under the impression that 651 A clarinets don’t exist and was wondering if anyone would know what would handle similarly.

There was a Yamaha YCL-64-A and YCL-650-A A clarinet for a while (which replaced the YCL-65II), but they got discontinued.
You'd have to look at something like a CX-A (was the YCL-65IICX), CS-A (was the YCL-85IICS), SE-A, AE-A or similar if you want to stick with Yamaha or even go for a different make entirely depending what you want in an A clarinet.
There's no reason to stick with the same make/model for both Bb/A sets if the matching model A clarinet doesn't play as you like it to and another make/model A clarinet is a better match for you.
