Its the 3 fingers on top with the octave and the first 2 on the bottom.NO PINKIES ARE PLACED!
You play it as a high A with the button above the thumb hole
For the Bb clarinet it's G B flat A D. All of course the high notes, but not super high
The Piccolo, Flute, Clarinet... Well, the woodwind family can be split into two groups, High and Low. High: Piccolo, Flute, Bb Clarinet, Bb Soprano Clarinet, Eb Alto clarinet, Eb Sopranino Saxophone, Bb Soprano Saxohpone, Eb Alto saxophone, and Oboe. Low: Bb Bass Clarinet, Bb Tenor Saxophone, Eb Baritone Saxophone, Bb Bass Saxophone, Eb Contrabass Saxophone, Bassoon, and Contrabassoon. Those are all i can think of at the moment.
I think it's smaller than the Bb Clarinet. At my school "the midget one". Eb, Bb, Ab and bass/contra. ---- Around 17"
buffet- sound nicer :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I play noblet clarinet. My friend plays buffet. I suggest both because both of them have good quality sound. When I play noblet clarinet, playing the middle Bb and B(not the low) is very hard and the exact right tune won't come out. But the high and and low notes are awesome on noblet. On buffet the B and Bb are alot better then noblet. But the other notes aren't as good as noblet. I suggest noblet but buffet is great too!

The Clarinet is a Bb instrument. That means that when a clarinet player plays a C, it would sound like a Bb on the piano. If you want to play along with piano, the clarinetist has to play 1 note higher that the piano. (or the piano has to play a whole note lower)

The top note of the clarinet range is generally considered to be a written G, four ledger lines above the treble staff. Because the clarinet is pitched in Bb, one step below the written range, that note will sound as an F on the piano. It is possible to play higher notes, but they are not reliable and rarely used. Few clarinet players even attempt to learn the extended range.
Probably a good clarinet to start is a Bb
The Bb clarient is the most commonly used clarinet
There are only two: Essential Elements 2000 Bb Clarinet Book 1 Plus DVD and Essential Elements 2000 Bb Clarinet Book 2 with CD.
The Bb Clarinet is the most common type of clarinet. The Bb shows that the clarinet is tuned to that note, just like an Eb clarinet is tuned to an Eb. If a Bb clarinet and a flute both play an "A" the notes will sound different, because they are tuned to different notes. In order to make the notes sound the same, the Bb Clarinet must play a semitone up, which is a "Bb".
