Clark Fobes reviewed the 621/622 in May/June 1990 and the 622 II in 2014. Both times he stated it was based on the 33. From September 2014 Clarinet journal “According to Yamaha, the bore speci - cations of this instrument should be about 925 in , but my measurements place the bore at 922in (23 40mm) which is essen- tially the same as my old Selmer Model 33 bass clarinet from 1976 is is no coinci- dence Yamaha rst produced a low-C bass clarinet in 1988 called the Y622 which was a copy of the Selmer Model 33, albeit with some variations e previously mentioned Brian Petterson explained to me in a phone call that the Y622II (released in 2009) is not so much a redesign as it is an upgrade to the Y622 ere are some improvements to bracing of the extension key rods, a metal middle joint tenon and some revised tone holes “. Hope it’s ok to post part of the review.
