At the beginning of the 18th century (and the Classical era), a German instrument maker named Johann Christoph Denner modified the chalumeau by converting one of its keys into a register key to produce the first Clarinet. The original Denner clarinets had two keys, playing a chromatic scale. As the instrument grew in popularity, various other makers added more keys to get improved notes, easier fingerings, and a slightly larger range. The classical clarinet of Mozart's day typically had eight finger holes and five keys.
