If the Yamaha clarinet comes with the Yamaha Custom Mouthpiece, remember it has to say Custom, well you are getting a high quality mouthpiece, but it needs to be refaced as the tip is about 1.20mm's, way too open. Have it refaced and closed down to about 1.08 or less, maybe 1.06 and you will be so happy. It may be the last mouthpiece you will ever buy.

A used Yamaha 650 is actually considered a pro model. I've been a Yamaha Artist now for a few years and I've enjoyed being sponsored by them, playing concerts with the Yamaha name next to my name has been a blast. The perks are good. Email me if you have any questions about Yamaha horns. I'd rather see you get into a more advanced horn if you can. It's worth getting into a good horn now instead of working your way up. The better horns hold their value very well and can be easier to play. I'm playing on the CSVR's, Bb and A clarinet. They seem to be warming up a bit too with the sound quality as the years pass. The wood is getting better, so I feel the wood may have been a bit new and it's starting to age some.
