Best Answer

The reed of the Clarinet is vibrated when pressured air runs along it. The vibrations travel through the length of the instrument, varied depending on keys put down, to produce specific pitches.

What does a clarinet sound like?

Well first off, I have been playing the clarinet for quite a while now, so to me it might sound different than someone who isn't in band or plays the clarinet...anyway, I think the clarinet is a beautiful instrument and produces a magnificent tone...if the player carries themselves with good posture, then this will improve the tone also. A good reed always helps too! :) Overall the clarinet is a great sounding instrument which produces a sound close to a bass clarinet or possibly oboe or bassoon. mainly the bass clarinet though..hope this answers your question! :)


How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?

The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.
