What instrument is clarinet?

Clarinet, also called clarinet or clarinet, is also called clarinet in Taiwan Province province. Clarinet is a woodwind instrument, usually made of African black wood. It is made of wood, hard rubber or metal, and has a beak-shaped mouthpiece and a round hollow part.

The tube body is composed of five detachable tubes, which are cylindrical and have an open bell mouth at the lower end. The reed is fixed at the mouthpiece, when the player plays through the space between the reed and the mouthpiece. Under the proper pressure of the lower lip, the tip of the thin reed will vibrate. The air column in the instrument tube began to vibrate, thus producing a soft timbre.

A brief comment on clarinet

Clarinet is the most special instrument in all woodwind families, and other woodwinds are pronounced according to the principle of opening the pipe (overtone 8 degrees). Only clarinet is like a cylinder, like a flute, but it is pronounced according to the principle of closed tube and effective column (overtone 12 degrees).

The operating parts (upper tube and lower tube) of the mechanical finger key are cylindrical, but the mouthpiece tube (flute head) is conical. As for the clarinet family, it is almost cylindrical from beginning to end.

The pipes of musical instruments are all made of wood, and one is divided into five sections. The reason why it is made into five sections is entirely for the convenience of maintenance and carrying. Because the gas column is a closed pipe principle, the pipe length is only half that of other wooden pipes. Clarinet widely used now has two tonalities: B-flat and A-flat, both of which are used as transposed instruments.
