How much is a used Yamaha clarinet usually worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yamaha clarinets are usually worth between $2200 and $3000.

-----

Impossible to tell without more information. Wood or ABS plastic? Condition? Could be as little as $50 ~ $75 if it is an older ABS plastic model, playable but with visible wear to plating, scratches, etc.

By comparison BRAND NEW on-line competitive pricing on Yamaha clarinets starts out at around $800. Once you take it out of the store value drops considerably.

What is the difference between the C B A and the G clarinet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G.

So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is.

I hope this makes sense... :)

Should I learn flute or saxophone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on you.

A saxophone a bit like playing the flute and playing the recorder (maybe clarinet I;m not sure)

Bearing in mind I play both flute and sax, I find flute easier. You shouldn't take my advice though, since I only started playing the sax at Christmas and I'm grade 7 at flute lol

What is the lowest pitched instrument in the clarinet family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Double bass. An instrument has the pitch higher as it's size gets smaller. Violin is very high pitched. Viola is more mellow. Cello suffices for a dramatic or romantic song. And double bass is a wonderful accomplisher for working in groups. Or that's just my opinion. Anyway double bass is your answer. Have fun :D

How many oboes are in a band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In top-tier orchestras you usually 4 oboists, though typically one of them is officially the English Horn player.

A typical band or orchestra has two to three oboes.

It's usually the number of oboes required by a composer in any given piece. A Haydn symphony may require two oboes (or in some of his symphonies: NONE) while a tone-poem by Richard Strauss may require triple WW or more.

Is Harmony a good brand for a clarinet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have never heard of that brand, but for marching band you do not need a clarinet that is as good as your concert clarinet. I have two clarinets. One is a nice wooden Yamaha that I use for concerts. The other is a plastic one. I would definitely recommend using plastic for marching band as it will be exposed to the elements.

Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No but it is the same as the trumpet & piano

(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)

Bundy clarinets around that age usually sell for about $50 or less in decent condition. They are very sturdy and worthwhile to have. Unfortunately there are many on the market right now so that value has decreased.
