Is the clarinet a reed instrument?

Answer 1

Definately not. The Clarinet is part of the woodwind family, which is characterised by a reed on the mouth piece, disregarding the Flute, which vibrates when blown across to produce tuned sound. Percussion instruments are typically struck with either the hand or with the appropriate stick to produce sound, and most are untuned. A drum is an example of a percussion instrument: it is played by striking the skin with a drum stick or with the hand. A clarinet is not.

Answer 2

Yes all clarinets are reed instruments
