A player blows down the reed attached to the mouthpiece, which vibrates and gives sound. The pitch is produced when the air blows out of the holes on the Clarinet and out of the bell at the bottom. The pitch can be changed by closing or opening holes, changing the amount of air that can escape and changing the note. The timbre can be changed by using a mute, which partially covers the bell at the bottom.
