Re: Yamaha Clarinets

I own Yamaha SE-V Bb & A clarinets and have had them for 12-13 years or so. Lovely clarinets IMO. I chose the SE-Vs instead of the CS-V after having tested both. There is a difference in tone between the two and I just preferred the SE-V.
A little (non?) documented difference between the two is that the CS-V has slightly smaller tone holes in the lower joint. If you have smaller fingers the CS-V is easier to play for that reason.
The silver plating on my instruments is still as good as the day I purchased them. I've never had any issues with the instruments. I had them rebuilt once since I purchased them. They do get played a lot but I'm not a pro.

You can't go wrong in my opinion.

MOO,
Matt
