Re: Yamaha Custom CX

I owned a few of the top line Yamahas back in the 1980s/1990s including a YCL 85 "Custom" A clarinet that I sold when I "upgraded" to an 85-2 that had been hand tuned by a member of the NZSO. Recently I was able to play test that YCL 85 A that I sold (in 1992!) and holy camoly it was GOOD. I was an idiot to sell it, it's way better in tune and easier to play than any of the Buffet A clarinets I've since owned (an RC A, 2 R13a, 2 Festivals and a Tosca). I now own an old R13 A from the 1970s that I love the sound of, but the tuning on the Yamaha was better and, well, it didn't sound bad even if it wasn't as beautiful as my R13....
