However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Yamaha YCL255S clarinet allows you to get the best possible start to learning the clarinet. This clarinet is ideally suited to beginners and intermediate players thanks to Yamaha's high-quality material selection.
Constructed from ABS resin, the Yamaha YCL255S is designed to help you progress as fast as possible. Featuring an adjustable thumb-rest, the Yamaha clarinet will accommodate most hand sizes, and encourage players to adopt a proper playing technique.
For an added touch of luxury, the YCL255S features silver-plated nickel silver keys, and is capable of producing warm sounds. Included with the clarinet is a lightweight carry case and a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece so you can start practising straight away.

The Yamaha YCL255S will give you the best possible start to the clarinet. Boasting great intonation with a fantastic sound without a large price tag, the YCL255S will comfortably take you up to a grade 5 standard. Ideal for wind bands or orchestras, the Yamaha student clarinet is perfectly suited for any ensemble.
The Yamaha YCL255S clarinet features everything you need to start learning the clarinet. Crafted the durable ABS resin, the clarinet is a much lighter than similarly priced models. Unlike wooden clarinets, the ABS body won't be susceptible to splits or cracks which is essential for hot and humid climates.
Another development for the YCL255S is the bell which is now made only of solid and durable ABS resin plastic. Inspired by high-end Yamaha clarinets, a 65mm barrel has been added to the design. The barrel is capable of producing a more concentrated and focused tone, with more resistance than previous models.
The silver-plated nickel silver keys provide a softer but warmer sound. New to the design is an adjustable thumb rest and strap ring to accommodate different hands sizes. This is a great advantage for younger musicians as it helps them to develop a proper playing technique. The strap ring brings further comfort and enables players to hold the instrument without any added effort. Another new addition includes durable screws and a silver soldered ring, which are attached to keep the thumb-rest securely in place.
Included with the Yamaha YCL255S clarinet is a lightweight moulded case. This case offers tough protection for your instrument to ensure it stays in the best possible condition. The case features a large exterior pocket for holding all of your music, and has an adjustable shoulder strap for easy transportation between events.
Also included with the Yamaha YCL255S clarinet is a 4C mouthpiece. Made from high-quality phenol resin, the 4C features a design inspired by the Yamaha Custom series. The 4C offers consistent playing technique and is recommended by teachers as a suitable upgrade for avid students. The facing of this series is shorter than the custom series which makes it easier for beginners to play, and is capable of achieving rich characteristic sounds.
All Yamaha instruments are designed to give you the best possible start to your musical journey. Yamaha appreciates that learning a musical instrument can be a life-changing experience, and this is why their instruments are easy to play and offer exceptional value.
