Best Answer

The Clarinet belongs to the woodwind family. Clarinets were originally made of wood, and still are, though most are plastic nowadays. It also requires the players breath, or "wind", to make a sound. Combine these two and you get a wooden wind instrument, or woodwind.

What other instruments are in the claranet family?

The clarinet family includes the regular clarinet, a smaller version that is still straight called the E-flat clarinet, and then several larger ones that have bends or curves in them, including (in size order) the alto clarinet, the bass clarinet, the contra-alto or E-flat contrabass, and the B-flat contrabass. A soprano saxophone looks somewhat like a metal clarinet, and has a single-reed mouthpiece like the clarinet, but it is part of the saxophone family, not the clarinet family - the bore of the instrument and the fingering system are entirely different from the clarinets.


Single reed woodwind instruments?

There are two kinds of woodwind instruments that have single reeds: the clarinet family, and the saxophone family. For any size clarinet or saxophone, there is a special size of bamboo reed that fits the mouthpiece for that size. The reed is fastened to the mouthpiece by a ring or band called a ligature. Double-reed instruments have reeds made of two pieces of bamboo instead of one, and the reed fits onto the crook or neck instead of onto a mouthpiece.
