The Capriccio is a seriously impressive clarinet – the grenadilla wood delivers a rich, focused tone, and the extra keys really improve the feel under your fingers. It's an excellent choice for advanced students and professionals seeking a high-quality, responsive instrument without the absolute top-tier price tag, though you'll want to be meticulous about keeping that finish clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

The action is very good, though perhaps not quite as consistently light as some Yamaha models; it's closer to Buffet in feel, requiring a bit more finesse but offering excellent control.
While grenadilla is durable, the lack of a protective finish does make it more susceptible to minor scratches and requires careful handling and humidity control to prevent cracking.
The 63mm barrel will generally produce a slightly darker, more focused tone, while the 64mm offers a bit more brightness and projection; experiment to find what suits your playing style and the acoustics of your performance space.
