Cork pads and leather pads are optimally placed to maximize on their tonal quality, touch and functionality. Redesigned tapered tone holes with hand-tapered undercut maximize superior tone quality, even intonation and a uniformed response throughout the full range of the instrument.

“The Yamaha CSG III H Bb clarinet is named after Canens, a Roman Goddess of Song. The “G” stands for German. We gave the name “CSG” to represent the German taste such as short barrel, ring-less bell, and its mild, soft tone colour.”

Yamaha reanalyzed and reevaluated literally every single design specification. New bell, barrel offer a tone of breathtaking richness and depth. The sound is warm yet has a clear focused center surrounded by a wealth of overtones, resulting in extraordinary beauty and expression.
