The chalumeau, (or chalemeau) is an early instrument similar to the Clarinet. It's sort of an ancestor to the clarinet, in fact. It was widely used through the Medieval and Renaissance periods- up until the mid 1700's when, after receiving keys and being more standardized, it "became" the clarinet. Hope that helps!

Who invented the chalumeau?
The first Chalemeau, noone knows but they were really old-12th Century- and were pipe instruments with reeds joined to them. Johann Christof Denner and his son Jacob improved it by adding throat keys and a mouthpiece like a clarinets with reed attached. So you could say they invented it, but they didn;t really, so it's up to how you look at it. Hope this helped!
What is history of clarinet?
The clarinet was developed from an instrument called the Chalemeau. Joseph Denner is credited with making changes to the chalemeau and developing the what we now call the clarinet. In the late 1700's many improvements were made and keys were added to the clarinet and Iwan Muller came up with a 13 keyed model that stayed in favor into the 1800's In the 1840's Klose and Buffet then adapted the fingering system of the flute to the clarinet to create the instrument we are familiar with today.

What was the clarinet originally used for?
The Chalumeaux. It was very popular shortly after its invention in the late 17th century, as it sounded like nothing else availiable at the time. Though the name now belongs to the bass register of the clarinet family, there are plenty of companies online that make very good replicas of the original instrument.
