Latone LCL 355 Clarinetto Sib

Latone LCL 355 Bb clarinet – reliable tone for every classroom

The Latone LCL 355 is a student‑grade Bb clarinet that balances affordability with solid construction. Designed for ease of learning, it offers a clear articulation and consistent pitch across the instrument’s range.

What sets this model apart

Unlike many entry‑level clarinets, the LCL 355 features a fully silver‑plated key mechanism that delivers a buttery smooth action, while its ABS body mimics the resonance of traditional wood without the fragility.

Build quality and player comfort

Robust construction matters for daily practice and transport. Molded from high‑impact ABS plastic, the instrument’s body has a realistic wood‑grain texture that resists cracking and warping. Players can adjust the thumb rest to find a natural grip, reducing fatigue during extended sessions.

• Body material: ABS plastic with wood‑grain finish – lightweight yet sturdy, ideal for school environments.
• Thanks to the adjustable thumb rest, the clarinet adapts ergonomically to the needs of each player.

Key system and acoustic performance

With a modern Boehm system, this clarinet shares the same fingering logic found on professional models, making the transition to higher‑level instruments seamless. The 17 keys and 5 rings are silver‑plated, providing a crisp, responsive feel and long‑term durability.

• Key system: Boehm – standard layout for easy learning.
• Number of keys: 17 – full chromatic coverage.
• Number of rings: 5 – secure key support.
• Silver‑plated finish on the keys means smoother action and enhanced resistance to corrosion over time.

Pitch, tuning and sound characteristics

Factory‑set to Bb, the clarinet offers a warm, centered tone that sits comfortably in ensemble settings. Its ABS resonator contributes to a stable pitch response, helping students stay in tune during rapid passages.

• Tuning: Bb – the most common clarinet pitch.
• When played, the sound profile provides a warm, focused middle register with clear upper notes, equally suitable for solo and group playing.

Who is it for

The Latone LCL 355 is the right choice for beginner clarinetists and school music programs that need a dependable instrument without compromising tonal quality. Its durable construction and ergonomic features also make it a solid option for intermediate players seeking a reliable practice instrument.
