Description from Yamaha:
“Refined for Freedom of Expression
The SEVR/SEVR-A clarinet has been carefully refined to give players unrivalled freedom of expression. A number significant changes have been made to the instrument’s design allowing Yamaha to deliver a clarinet that meets clarinetists’ desires for a higher standard of clarinet. Its beautiful tone, rich expressive capabilities throughout the dynamic range, and a tone with exceptional presence, Yamaha’s new SEVR/SEVR-A sets new standards in professional clarinet craftsmanship.
Thick Key Plating: A thick key plating means that SEVR/SEVR-A has rich expressive capabilities, particularly when played loudly.
Durable Leather Pads: Durable leather pads are used for their Rich tonal quality with the additional benefit of giving players a buzz-free playing experience.
65 mm Traditional Barrel Shape: The traditional barrel shape of the SEVR/SEVR-A enhances the playing experience giving players a well-balanced response, and perfect resistance. The elegant new ‘R’ logo on the barrel emphasises this beautifully refined instrument.
New Ergonomic Design C#/G# Key: Attention to detail was paramount when re-designing the SEV and by making the C#/G# key 2mm longer, the touch and playability have been greatly improved.
Traditional Bell Shape: The traditional bell shape without scallop chamber achieves tone with superb presence and a focused core.
Adjustable Thumb-Rest with Strap Ring: The adjustable thumb rest allows players to find the most comfortable setting. The addition of a strap ring gives players the option to distribute the weight of the instrument and relieve some of the strain of holding the instrument.“
