Best Answer

A Clarinet is a straight instrument in the woodwind family. The most common clarinet is called a Bb (B flat) clarinet. Next to the bassoon, the clarinet has the largest pitch ranges.

A Clarinet breaks down into 5 sections:

The mouth piece

The barrel

The upper joint

The lower joint

The bell

In order to make sound, a clarinet requires a single reed (other instruments in this family, such as an Oboe, require a double reed), commonly made from cane. The air rushing past the reed causes it to vibrate, making a sound.

Reeds come in different thicknesses on a grade of 1-5. 1 being the easiest to play, 5 the hardest. However, a better sounding noise will come from a grade 5 reed.

The clarinet is a musical-instrument family belonging to the group known as the woodwind instruments. It has a single-reed mouthpiece, a straight cylindrical tube with an almost cylindrical bore, and a flared bell. A person who plays a clarinet is called a clarinetist (sometimes spelled clarinettist).

The word "clarinet" comes from the Italian word "clarinetto", derived from "clarino" which means "Trumpet". This is because most early clarinets had a tome and timbre similar to trumpets.
