Best Answer

The Clarinet was developed from an instrument called the Chalemeau.

Joseph Denner is credited with making changes to the chalemeau and developing the what we now call the clarinet.

In the late 1700's many improvements were made and keys were added to the clarinet and Iwan Muller came up with a 13 keyed model that stayed in favor into the 1800's

In the 1840's Klose and Buffet then adapted the fingering system of the Flute to the clarinet to create the instrument we are familiar with today.

The first clarinet was created when someone added a register key to a baroque instrument called the "chalumeau", which was a recorder-like instrument but had a reed attached to the mouthpiece. Adding the register key increased the range of notes achievable.

The clarinet originated in Europe. The modern day clarinet has evolved from more primitive versions but did NOT come from the Saxophone.
