seabreeze,

Yes, per the following article, it appears that Yamaha does make clarinets that are never sold in the U.S. The article discusses (along with clickable YouTube audio links) the Yamaha SE-bored Artist model as well as the Ideal G model clarinets. And, yes, to my eyes, the Ideal G model does have a noticeably shorter barrel.

As to why certain Yamaha models never make it to the U.S., "ponyclarinet" (Tony Park) gives his opinionated answer which doesn't really make much sense to me as quite a few professional Yamaha clarinets are sold here.

I much prefer the sound of the Ideal G over the SE-bored Artist clarinet.
