Re: Yamaha SEVR/SE Artist in US?

I played on a set of original Yamaha CSG's from 2007-2017, and more recently acquired a set of CSVR's which a fellow player here on the board now performs on, and a set of CSG2's which I went for because of the incredible A clarinet.

While Yamaha is already much better about having their basic setup functional "out of the box" than a number of other manufacturers, the CSVR-ASP model is something you visit the Atelier to select and have customized to your unique preferences, rather than buying an instrument from a shop then sending it off to a technician. It's an "in-house" thing where an Artist would work with the Yamaha people who designed the instruments in the first place. It's that way with Backun already, where one either sees them in Burnaby, or when the team is on tour to various conventions, or one of their certified technicians. When I got my MoBa, it was "ready to go" without needing further modifications.

A cottage industry has existed for many decades around the complete overhaul of *new* instruments from a certain big brand...so rather than trying to select an instrument from a big lot that might have a lot of variation in setup quality, then sending it off to get overhauled, getting a specific instrument "tuned" to your preferences by the people who designed and built the instruments can save one a lot of time and frustration.
