I figured I should address this first before anything else because I had to do some digging to find out myself. Yes, this is an official Yamaha product you can register it on their website. Yes, there isn’t any difference between the YCL-255 international and the YCL-255. No difference either other than the price. One is at retail the other (this one) isn’t. I originally began playing the clarinet in 2017 buying a cheap Mendini to introduce myself to the instrument. Since then I’ve improved and decided to pursue it further and for that I would need to get something that is higher quality. Not the fairest comparison, but the sound quality of the YCL is incomparable to my old Mendini. Would I recommend buying if you are playing long term? Yes. Short term, maybe. As with all instruments, they are pricey and for someone who is just “getting the feels” it wouldn’t be nice to have to return a 700-800$ instrument. Solid clarinet choice would certainly recommend but just sort out how much you would play/how long. No complaints otherwise, very well packaged. Read more
