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)

Is buffet clarinet or noblet clarinet better?

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!


How high and can the clarinet play?

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.

Why is a clarinet in b flat key?

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".
