Best Answer

Basically stated, the normal range is about 3½ octaves.

There are many types of Clarinets, the largest 'family' of woodwind instruments.

From the Soprano down to the ContraBass there are more than 2 dozen types. Then the difference between them being an E-flat, B-Flat, or A instrument.

Total range is hard to pin down as many professional performers can exceed the written range that appears in most textbooks.

The Clarinet has 24 notes.

Answer:

The B-flat clarinet has a range (written) from the E below middle C to the C three octaves above middle C. That is a range of 45 notes, although the very highest notes are not very useful and usually unpleasant. The B-flat clarinet sounds a whole step lower than written.

Using a Soprano Bb Clarinet as reference, the usual range is around 3-3 and 1/2 octaves, depending on who you ask. But technically, the clarinet has an unlimited range, as the reed allows the clarinet to have an infinite possibility of notes, depending on how fast the reed vibrates.

Well, it depends on what you mean, there are regular notes, flats, and sharps. I know there are quite a few though.

The range of an Oboe is from a B flat below middle C to a high G. So just over 2 and a half octaves.
