Yamaha Clarinet How To Look UpIf anyone could tell how to look up the model number of my clarinet or a database I could search for some info, I would greatly appreciate it. Author: mw Date: 2004-05-08 17:11 How do you know its from 1991-1993 manufacture date (not tongue in cheek, but I think a meaningful query). Yamaha Clarinet Pro Models HaveMeasure the Upper Joint (topbottom) Bore have clarinet in front of you or make note of the Upper Joints alternate Bb (BIS) key as the Yamaha pro models have a different key design as opposed to Intermediate (Model 32, 34 52). Ask for Woodwind Support - they have 2 or 3 very knowledgable ww techs. Author: davor Date: 2004-05-09 18:11 Hi, If your clarinet is plastic, and the case is a small oval black, then it is a 20 or 26 model. The model no could be located at the reverse side of the upper joint, beside cg key. Author: mw Date: 2004-05-09 22:44 Hmmm - only 1 serial number on all Yamaha Clarinets NOT based upon my experience. OK, I just pulled out Model(s) 72cs, 82 85 which have serial numbers on BOTH Upper Lower Joint. YES, Model(s) 34 52 (wooden intermediate clarinets) plastic student instruments only have 1 serial number, most often at the top of the LJ. Nippon Gakki is afixed to Clarinets that wereare made for the Japanese markets. Yamaha Established in 1887 is the descriptive marking which is gold-foil-imprinted on all Yamaha Clarinets for the North American Market. I wish that Yamaha Clarinets were engraved thus could be properly gilded Note: Ill assume that BUDDHATB is talking about a clarinet purchased in the U.S.; his email address reflects a U.S. I dont think hes a Spammer I have previously discussed this with a Yamaha Band Instrument representative with a Yamaha (Clarinet) Artist. Those clarinets marked Nippon Gakki were not exportedimported to the U.S. They were brought in by other channels or means - musicians who went overseas, servicemen, etc. My Model 82 85 both have the Model name above the UJ serial number which is found at the bopttom of the UJ. Finally, the U.S. Nippon Gakki models. Author: davor Date: 2004-05-11 22:59 I was just trying to help the guy. Somebody who can not tell whether the clarinet is plastic or wood definetly does not have a pro model. When I started teaching (1989) the model 24 was out of production aswell. It is possible that it was still in production in US, but his clarinet has engraved Nippon Gakki, so it is Japanese. After visits to 2 local Yamaha dealers, countless measurements phone calls to yamaha, a digital photo --- I received a call back from Yamaha ww support in (then) Grand Rapids, MI. It turned out to be the Japanese version of the YCL-72 - a professional instrument. At eBay Auction I paid 125 thought that I had purchased a YCL-32 or 34. I think there are people out there who believe they have pro models clarinets actually have student models vice-versa.
