We began a long, arduous process of analyzing and reevaluating literally every single part and design specification. It took us more than five years.
The result is an entirely new kind of clarinet—one which gives players a choice they have never had. It's called the 'CSG,'and it's an instrument that harks back to the purity of the natural resonance of aged grenadilla wood.
There's less metal used on the CSG, so the whole body reverberates with sound, while the new bore, barrel, and bell shapes offer a tonal richness of breathtaking depth.
The tone has a clear yet warm focused center surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in a sound of extraordinary beauty and expressivity which projects with remarkable ease even in the largest concert halls.
There's never been anything like this before.

YCL-CSG/A
In Bb / A
Boehm System: 17 keys, 6 rings
56.5mm barrel
Tapered toneholes with hand-sculpted undercuts
Highest grade Grenadilla body
Silver-plated nickel silver keys
5CM Ebonite mouthpiece
YCL-CSG-H/AH
The YCL-CSG-H is the same clarinet but with a 'Hamilton' plate finish on the keys. Hamilton plating consists of gold with some nickel and copper added. Many players find it darkens the sound while at the same time giving tonal clarity and projection. They feel it also helps create a creamy smooth texture to both the sound and the response.

In A - add 'A' to the model number (YCL-CSG-A)
With Hamilton plating - add 'H' to the model number (YCL-CSG-H/AH)
