Yamaha Advantage 200ADII: Extra Clean w/ New M/pc! (Equiv to Yamaha 255 model)

Description

This Advantage is the latest version of Yamaha's popular student clarinet with an adjustable thumb rest. Although it is easy to have the impression that this instrument is somehow different from Yamaha's YCL-255 model, the specs are the same on both models and all parts are interchangeable. It's clear that this one has been taken care of- the plating on the keys, the corks and springs are in excellent condition. If you look closely it has a couple small marks, but as you can see in the photos, this one is in great shape cosmetically. This Yamaha was just serviced: completely disassembled and polished, lubricated and adjusted so that it's ready to play. I've found that often it's the small adjustments that make a big difference in how enjoyable an instrument is to play
.
The 200ADII is a very popular student clarinet for good reason- it is well built and performs superbly.
I started playing clarinet 56 years ago and these days I restore clarinets exclusively. I've refurbished more than 1,200 of these Bb models, many of which were sold here on eBay. So you can check out the feedback from other happy customers and be confident that you're getting a quality instrument that plays great.  I feel I've done my best to ensure this one fits that description. After testing, I found that this Yamaha does everything well- it plays easily from top to bottom and has that sweet Yamaha sound. You will be able to play this instrument immediately with no repairs needed.
This YCL-200ADII comes with a new Clark Fobes Debut mouthpiece that brings out the best in it, new cork grease and a new reed. The Yamaha case is also in excellent shape as well, showing typical wear. The serial number is L17097. Clarinet will be shipped quickly by Priority Mail or FedEx following payment.
