Re: Are the following Yamaha Clarinets good or bad?

The Yamaha info I posted states the following - "*When the model number is only 2 numbers (YCL-64), the first number is the grade and the second number is the development number."

Therefore, your YCL-23N is a 23 series with nickel plated keys (N for nickel - S for silver) - which would have been the standard keywork plating finish on a plastic clarinet.

There were also YCL-26IIMSUK clarinets which had a matt finish plastic body (hence the 'M'), silver plated keys (which is the 'S') and (allegedly) made for the UK market (finishing with 'UK'). That was in Yamaha's catalogue, though the model number stamped on the top joint was just YCL-26II.

Also, the YCL-34IIN and YCL-34IIS breaks down as YCL (Yamaha CLarinet) 34 (wooden intermediate model, and a more recent version of this model since the YCL-30) II (the MkII version of the YCL-34) N or S (nickel os silver plated keywork).

So the model numbers do specify what you have, although the Yamaha model number info I have (and put on here) didn't include the N or S suffix to specify nickel or silver plating.
