Yamaha Clarinet Madness?

I spoke with someone very prominent within Yamaha, and that is an understatement. He said that they are also releasing the VR, VR Atelier, VR Artist or Master to their professional line that are horns which are "after" CS/CE. I interpret that to mean that these are instruments which are above the CSVR and SEVR in the Yamaha Pro Line Hierarchy. WOW, especially to the many of us who have already purchased CSVRs and SEVRs with no opportunity to try out these models. He did imply that you can try them at Yamaha's Atelier Store in New York.

Personally, I would be very upset if these instruments are a notch above the CSVRs and SEVRs. And from what I have read since I didn't make the convention, these horns were not shown in Orlando. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) I asked him if Yamaha will be providing printed brochures or online information pertaining to these clarinets. I just received this information within the past half hour so I have not had time to check online. If any of you out there have any info can you share it with us, especially if you have a link.

All of this took me completely by surprise. When I spoke with John Yeh several months ago about the CSVRs (he plays these) and the SEVRs he knew nothing about more "advanced" models. I guess nothing should surprise us any more. And I would not be surprised that no one at Yamaha America would be able to provide to any information. THIS INFORMATION CAME FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD MAKE THIS STATEMENT ONLY IF IT WAS 100% ACCURATE. Hawaii is too far from NY to make a visit to check out these clarinets. I would guess people like Bob Bernardo would know what person I am referring to who has become a friend and I have heard about his prodigious skills for decades by the man who first
hired him.

Any reaction?
