Clarnibass - "For flute models, Yamaha has a very clear chart of exactly each digit mean. I'm wondering if they the same for clarinets?"

I found the following in a load of info I copied from a Yamaha technicians' manual:

Clarinet Model Range

YCL-XXX
____________________________________________________________
1st number = Grade
A,S,C - Custom
____________________________________________________________
2nd number*
2 - Bass clarinet
3 - Alto clarinet
4 - Boehm A clarinet
5 - Boehm Bb clarinet
6 - Reformed style clarinet
8 - Eb soprano clarinet

*When the model number is only 2 numbers (YCL-64), the first number is the grade and the second number is the development number.
____________________________________________________________
3rd number**
1 - CX
2 - CS
3 - SE
4 - AE
6 - Reformed Boehm
7 - Oehler system
8 - Vienna style
0 - Version/development number

V as the third or fourth digit means new style barrel, bell and metal alloy.

**3rd number can be development number (or for bass clarinet only: 1= to low Eb, 2= to low C).

CX, all Student, Intermediate and 1st level Pro models have tone hole inserts.

An "A" at the end of any of these models stands for clarinet in the key of A.
