Premier Clarinet

Employing professional grade features and superior value, the Premier selection of clarinets is the next logical step in a student’s musical progression.

  • Resonance chamber “cutout”

  • Backpack style case


Yamaha YOB-441M Oboe

Yamaha oboes achieve a clear sound quality and superb intonation by dramatically improving the precision and stability of the bore. Also to cope with various durability issues inherent in wooden wind instruments, Duet+ models employ innovative techniques to form a protective layer next to the air column. The combination of precious wood and state-of -the-art resin is not simply a "Duet" of tradition and technology - it's a "Plus" advantage indeed.

  • Grenadilla body with ABS resin lined upper joint
  • Modified Conservatoire Key System
  • Silver-plated nickel silver keys

  • High F# Key
  • Improved Low B-C# Mechanism
  • Backpack-style case


Premier Tenor Sax

The Premier tenor saxophones offer high quality yet value-conscious instruments for the rapidly growing saxophonist. The slightly narrower bore designs provide faster response and greater control and allows for a comfortable flow of air so that every player can attain a solid tonal core.

  • .459" medium large bore
  • Yellow brass two-piece bell

Premier Trombone

Yamaha YHR-567 French Horn

The 567 is a full double horn with a basic design.

This instrument was created with the player in mind, down to the smallest components, such as an adjustable 4th valve thumb lever and water key.

  • Yellow brass body and bell
  • Adjustable 4th rotor thumb lever
  • .427" bore


Yamaha YEP-321S Euphonium

The Yamaha YEP-321S is perhaps the most respected intermediate level euphonium on the market.

These additional fingering combinations allow for better control of intonation as well as more efficient fingerings.

  • Body Material: Silver-plated Yellow Brass
  • Bell Diameter: 280mm (11”)
  • Valves: 4 top pistons
  • Finish: Silver-plated


Adams AMPD33R 3.3 Octave Marimba

The AMPD33R 3.3 octave Academy Marimba with Resonators is designed to be an affordable option that allows the intermediate student to work on many of the pieces written for a low A marimba, all while still having the full tone and projection of a full size marimba.

  • Hand-adjusted tone bars
  • Use on table-top or with stand
  • Stand included
