How do you make a sound from the clarinet?

Answer 1

If you've seen a Clarinet, you'll know that they're very intricate, with the size of the keyholes, and the delicate keys etc. Plus, the mouthpiece would be extremely difficult to get exactly right to fit ligatures and reeds etc. You'd also have to find a case that fits your clarinet exactly. So my advice is to just buy one. Making one would not be cheaper, after all of the metal welding and wood. It'd be cheaper, easier, and more reliable to buy a clarinet off a well-known manufacturer, such as Yamaha, or Buffet Compond

Before you start, grease all the corks. After a while, you won't need to do this anymore, but when you have a new clarinet you'll need to grease the corks both before and after playing. First connect the two parts with keys on them, and line up the bridge key (The top part will move when you press the left hand middle finger key, and its under the four side keys. The bottom part any of the keys with visible holes under the actual key). They don't have to be lined up exactly, but they should be able to move each other. Next, connect the bell (the piece that curves outward, like a bell) to the bottom cork. This is the part with the thumb rest, and no thumb key. You can do it before or after connecting the bridge key, it's your choice. Now, take the reed out of its casing and put it in your mouth -- it will be very hard to play if it's dry. At first, it'll taste bad, but you get used to it. Attach the barrel (The piece with a slight bulge in it) to the mouthpiece (it has a rectangular like hole in it), then connect to the rest of the clarinet. Now, take the reed out of your mouth, (if it's really wet, you can wipe it on your shirt) and place it over the rectangular hole in the mouthpiece. Make sure it's lined up with the flat side of the clarinet. Screw on the ligature, which is on the mouthpiece in the case, tight enough to make it stay on, but not so tight that the reed can't vibrate. Most ligatures are metal with two screws -- these go to the right (if you're looking at the reed) on the front of the mouthpiece (the part with the reed). However, some ligatures actually go backwards. If you have one of these, the screw will still go to the right, but it will be on the rounded side of the mouthpiece. If you do have a backwards ligature, it won't fit right on the front. Now you're set up, and ready to play!

first, buy a long wood piece from a hardware store or so. then get a drill and drill some holes on top of the clarinet. then cut out the nose of the clarinet.. next use a polisher OR sand paper to smooth the edges... after that step use a hot glue gun to glue the nose together with the clarinets body.. let the glue dry for 3hrs, just for the clarinets safety. and if u want it to look stylish buy some paint and maybe some glitter to make it look
