Great Deal- Used Yamaha Student Trumpet

Super deal. This is an original Yamaha trumpet made in Japan. Not like the ones on the market today made in a number of Asian countries and of a lower standard of quality. This Yamaha YTR 232 has a copper lead pipe. Plays with a bright clear tone. Great for a beginner or student. The condition is excellent except for a few minor dings. Just checked over in the shop and cleaned, oiled and slides greased. Comes with the original case also in excellent condition, a new 7C mouthpiece and valve oil. Visit Scott Russ Music in Merrick, NY or www.scottrussmusic.com for more details.

Clarinet Care


Clarinets as all wood instruments expand and contract with heat and humidity.  Cracks can occur if you are not careful. Good clarinet maintenance is the key to avoiding damage to your instrument. Here are some simple tips to caring for your wooden clarinet.


  • Always swab, disassemble and return your clarinet to its case when not in use.
  • Wipe down the keys after playing with a cloth to remove the oils left on the keys by your fingers. This will also prevent tarnishing and premature wear. 
  • Avoid extreme and rapid changes in temperature.  Store your clarinet where the temperature is stable. Also, never play a clarinet that is cold to the touch.
  • Maintain a consistent relative humidity in between playing sessions. Case humidifiers are a great way to do this.
  • Have your clarinet cleaned and adjusted by a qualified repair technician twice a year. 
  • Have the bore oiled by a repair professional.
  • Never assemble your clarinet when tight.


Always allow a clarinet to heat up to room temperature before playing.
