Yamaha YCL 61?

Author: LJBraaten  Date:   2011-10-05 16:01 I searched this site without much success on the Yamaha YCL 61. Anyone play one of these, or have information on this instrument? The Yamaha website says simply it was made from 1972-78, 14.70 mm bore, etc., and that there is no current model. When I searched this and the sister boards, I only came up with a couple of comments, impressions about what some members heard about it, but even these seemed somewhat tenuous. I am interested in knowing: What level is this instrument (professional? entry level professional?) What would you compare this instrument to (Yamaha YCL 64? others?) How freely does it play? What are the sound characteristics (dark, bright? ) How is its intonation throughout the registers? Special features (undercutting, adjustable thumb rest, etc.) ...and anything else that might be helpful in evaluating this instrument. Laurie (Mr. Laurie Braaten)
