Well it depends. In Clarinet, you have to blow to get your musical notes. In violin, you have to just move your bow across a string. I would probably say a clarinet is harder. You have to blow and waste your breath!

A second Opinion...

Well, realistically I would say violin is harder because in clarinet the notes are all there for you. In violin you have to find the notes by ear and shift the position when the music says to. Plus, most violin players do the vibrato. You also have to hold the violin near the shoulder or on it. Clarinet you just have to hold it with hands which is much easier. The violin is also deemed the hardest instrument to play.

I disagree. When you play the violin, all you have to do is move your hands. When you play clarinet you have to, controll embachure, cover the holes, and maintain good air. So clarinet is hands down harder.

The violin is often said to be the hardest instrument to learn how to play, so the Trombone is probably easier.

I think so because on the trombone you have to change the way you blow into the mouth piece to make different sounds while changing the position on the slide but the violyn just needs you to put the fingers in the correct spot and move the bow at the correct pace

How to transpose from violin to clarinet in b flat?

If you are playing violin music on a clarinet, you have to transpose up one step (a major 2nd). In other words, if you see a C, you play a D. If you are playing clarinet music on a violin, it's the opposite. You transpose down a step.
