Clarinets weren't invented until the 1700's
Instruments similar to clarinets were being used in Egypt as early as 3000 BC. The modern clarinet apparently began around 1690 and it is believed to have been made by Johann Cristoph Denner.
The clarinet has its roots in single-reed instruments used during the middle ages in Europe and the Middle East. Between the middle ages and the 18th century, the modern day clarinet was developed from a Baroque instrument called the "chalumeau."
Johann Christoph Denner of Nuremburg with the help of his son Jacob improved the chalumeau, creating a new instrument called the clarinet around 1690.
Thaey are made by Maybach.

Clarinets are generally made of wood or plastic, depending on the quality and price. They aren't made from pure elements.

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.
Clarinets are most commonly made of plastic but good ones are made of wood
Traditionally, clarinets are made from African hardwoods usually found in endangered rainforests. Consequently, the price of such wooden instruments was skyrocketing.
