Ok so, there are some reviews on this site that say it’s a knock off but they’re wrong. How do I know? Google translate!!! If you hold the camera option on it over the warranty card that comes with it (it’s Korean) it’ll translate the warranty and it’ll say it’s a legit ycl-255 for sale in Korea. It’ll say warranty is only good in Korea. But, you can pay the 77.00 for the amazon 4 year warranty or skip it and take it for repair if something goes wrong and you’re STILL not paying 1017.00 at Sam Ash or Musicians Friend!! I just got mine today and I’m keeping it. It’s the real deal, It sounds great and I saved 400.00. If something breaks I have 400.00 for repairs but....it’s pretty solid! Construction looks flawless. Beautiful instrument! Soft case is nice, and it’s not TOO soft so you can bang it around a bit. I only gave it 4 stars for beginners cause there’s a lot of clarinets that are cheaper but they’re probably made cheaper. I’ll post again in a few months if I can figure out how to do that with an update. Oh, and the sound is spot on! I’m pretty sure the R13 sounds better but not 3k dollars better lol

It's real...I just registered it on Yamaha.com
I'm a Dad, not a musician, and I only know what I know. It sounds like a clarinet that is in tune. More importantly, its NOT a counterfeit. I just checked on the phone with Yamaha USA...and it registers just fine with them. A real YL-255 DOES come with an engraved serial Number (maybe it on there somewhere, but I did not see it at first. But it is there. that's why I called Yamaha)...Sorry professional guys, Its real...but not what you are used to seeing. BUT it is made in Indonesia, under license from Yamaha. Actually a Korean company doing business in Indonesia. So I (my wife) called them, My wife speaks Korean so she jumped on that! It all checks out... I guess for us regular, non-muscially inclined (but don't want to get hosed by a China knock-off) guys who want to do good for our kid...this is a win. ensure that the product registration card gets pulled off the box it comes shipped in...That's the only record of your product. Follow the instructions in the little warranty card and your are done. Thank you to Yamaha USA for helping figure this all out.

Thank you so much for this wonderful clarinet drbailey0101! It’s in amazing condition, plays wonderfully (all registers), and the keys and pads are smooth and extremely responsive. This is better condition than the one I used in my college symphonic band. I bought this because I plan to teach band. This will definitely help me improve my skills and I will have a quality instrument to teach with. Words don’t do enough justice to how grateful I am, truly.

I purchased a clarinet for my child, but after only five days, the screw holding the key in place came loose, making it unplayable. I returned it, but they deducted a $377 fee and did not refund the full amount. This is the first time I’ve had such an experience using Amazon.
