Re: Yamaha 20 vs Yamaha 450N

I believe that the bore design on the 450 is a little different than the 20 as well.

I echo Ursa's comments on keeping a non-wood clarinet available. I happen to be partial to the later Vito clarinets (model 7214 and V40), which can be purchased for <$30 on auction sites. I set these up with cork upper pads and leather lower and tighten/adjust everything as if it is a professional job and place them with local customers. I have both a 7214 and V40 of my own as well that I use for situations that would put my wood clarinets "in harm's way". They are perfectly satisfactory to play, particularly the V40. The keywork is identical to many professional Leblanc clarinets.
