The Yamaha has already been worked on. It's in great shape. My Evette was totally overhauled with new pads, corks, cleaned, oiled.by the woodwind specialist in Ithaca who repairs faculty and student clarinets for Ithaca college school of music.
My student took it home and made 5 comparison videos. ..same excerpts. ..the Evette is noticeably warmer, focused and darker, especially noticeable in altissimo and Chalumeau. The Throat Tones, Clarion are the closest. She didn’t hear a big difference (8th grader) but mom heard it.
Don't get me wrong , that yamaha is great, I'm just being picky. Her Yamaha seems shrilly and the tone is very spread and I hear a lot of upper harmonis vs. Evette the fundamental is really cutting through...the tone color is a lot more pleasing and for lack of words more "mature and refined"?
I like the darker richer tone, someone else might hear something different. Again I had a friend who has m.m. in clarinet performance play it and said it was very close to her R13 and as good or better than her E-11.
