The New Duet+ Clarinet Gives Educators and Students the Perfect Combination of Tradition and Technology
YCL-450M Duet+ model reduces cracking and allows for greater consistency in sound production
Duet+ is a process where the upper joint is drilled out slightly larger around the bore and tone-holes and is then injected with thermoplastic ABS resin. This instantly forms the inner shape of the instrument whilst at the same time maintaining over 60% of the upper joint’s natural wood.
For students, the instrument has a greater consistency in sound production and a response that is perfect for those who are learning. The reliability that comes from using Duet+ makes it an easy choice for educators to recommend and is perfect for those living in areas with extreme climates.
Alongside all of these benefits, a key factor is that this instrument still maintains the sound that you would expect from a wooden instrument. It provides students with the perfect platform from which to develop their performance abilities and can help to progress the musical side of their playing.
