The Clarinet came from a popular instrument in Europe called a chalumea. This instrument had only two keys and a single reed. The chalumea range was low. In the 1700s a German instrument maker named Denner is credited to making the clarinet becuse he improved the chalumea by adding three more keys. Then in 1844 two French musicians, Buffet and Klose, used the Boehm Flute key system to the clarinet. Doing this made the clarinet we know today.
