Well, it depends how old you are talking about.
If you are talking about old old, then it's actually the opposite. They started adding as time went by.
If you are talking about old (not that old), they pretty much remained the same as you know them today.
you are either blowing too hard, got a cracked reed, biting up or not covering all the holes properly!
no the colored clarinets dont last as long as black ones
Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.
Clarinets weren't invented until the 1700's
clarinets are a instrument. Sort of like a recorder except its notes are deeper
No. I have heard that you can break those clarinets in half easily. Are you looking for a beginning clarinet? If you are to get any clarinet, I would invest a little bit more money and buy a brand like Selmer, Yamaha, or a Buffet B12. Those are good brands for a beginning clarinetist.

no not all clarinets are black there is gold silver and bronze clarinets also but black is one of the most commen
The best clarinets are wooden. Wooden clarinets are black. The colored ones are probably plastic, and I doubt they sound very good.
He was 14, i think but he is defo not older then 19
Modern wood clarinets are typically made of Grenadilla. Very old clarinets were made of Boxwood. I've heard of Rosewood clarinets but have never seen one. One clarinet made by Conn around 1949~52 was marketed as "Violin Finish" and was actually made of plywood. There are also clarinets made of hard rubber (mostly older), ABS plastic and other flavors of plastic. Must not overlook metal clarinets, which were mostly made of nickel, nickel plated brass and some were silver plated or with some portion (like the bell) made of sterling silver. One very rare model made by Wm. S. Haynes was made entirely of sterling silver.
