Thoughts on the Yamaha YCL-650 and Buffet E13

Author: jonathan5666

Need help choosing between these two clarinets (Yamaha YCL-650 and Buffet E13) and would like to hear your opinion about them and any experience you might have with theses instruments. From my local stores, they are roughly priced the same, so price is not a factor.
I am also open to other brands/models of similiar level/price, ideally new.
I would also like to add that I have been playing clarinet for 6 years and mainly play in an orchestra and concert bands. (I currently play on a 1969 Boosey&Hawkes Emperor)
Thanks.

Hi,

I tried both of those when I was looking for a clarinet, and I think you'd really need to try them to see whether you like the tone and how well they fit your hands. I think they are probably both fine, but it is like that you will find that you have a strong preference for one or the other if you play them.
