In fact you can change the pitch by nearly one full key by changing the pressure you blow with. Yet when you play a didj you do not want to be forced to play it really soft or really hard just to be in tune. It obviously limits what you can do while playing.
In a well tuned didj the difference caused by changing the pressure is evenly spaced on both sides of the middle note. We actually tune so middle note is closer towards the high end as most good players tend to use rather more pressure. This means that when a beginner plays that didj, it will be under tuned, but once he becomes more proficient he will be able to play it in tune.
The positioning of the lips can affect the tune as well, but I found that this effect is small and that you have to compromise ease of play in order to change the pitch. The tune can also be affected by the shape and height of the beeswax mouthpiece. In general, the larger the hole in the mouthpiece, the further your lips will go into the didj, resulting in a higher pitch. And the higher the mouth piece the lower the pitch.

How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?
The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.
How does a clarinet player produce notes of different pitch?
If you are talking about pitch as in notes, a clarinet player presses a combination of keys to create a note, and there are sometimes alternate fingering(s) to create the same note. If you are talking about pitch as in sharp/flat, clarinet players can tune their instrument slightly flat by pulling out on the barrel (the connector between the mouthpiece and the "body" of the clarinet) and vice versa for making it sharp.
What are the notes in a dominant seventh in A for clarinet?
Concert pitch or instrument pitch? The dominant 7th in the key of A is E G# B D, but that's concert pitch. If the orchestra is in A, the clarinet is in B, and the dominant 7th would be F# A# C# E.
Do all clarinets have the same fingering?
Yes, they do. It is the length of the instrument that determines the pitch differences. For example the bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the B-flat clarinet; the shorter E-flat soprano clarinet sounds a fifth higher than the B-flat.
What has a higher pitch clarinet or flute?
Flutes are much higher than clarinets.
How does the clarinet octave key function to change the pitch of the instrument?
The clarinet octave key works by opening a hole in the instrument that allows air to escape, which changes the pitch to a higher octave.

How are the clarinet keys labeled and what is their function in playing the instrument?

What are the different types of clarinet-like instruments and how do they differ in terms of sound and construction?
There are several types of clarinet-like instruments, including the Bb clarinet, the bass clarinet, and the alto clarinet. These instruments differ in size, pitch, and construction, which affects their sound. The Bb clarinet is the most common and has a bright, versatile sound. The bass clarinet has a lower pitch and a richer, deeper tone. The alto clarinet is larger than the Bb clarinet and has a mellower sound. Each instrument has a unique construction that influences its sound quality and range.

What are the main differences between the clarinet and trumpet in terms of sound production and playing technique?
The main differences between the clarinet and trumpet are in how sound is produced and the playing techniques used. The clarinet produces sound by vibrating a reed against the mouthpiece, while the trumpet produces sound by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece. In terms of playing technique, the clarinet requires precise finger placement on keys to change pitch, while the trumpet relies on the player's embouchure and air support to control pitch and tone.
Can you compare the flute and the clarinet?
You can transpose flute music for clarinet music. Flute is on concert pitch, most clarinets are not. Example: A flute's Bb is a clarinet's C. Bb= B flat
