What makes a middle C note on a flute sound very different from a middle C note on a clarinet?

It will have a different quality of sound because the keys on a piano cause a string to be hit with a small padded hammer, not plucked or bowed as on a violin. The pitch should not be different. If it is, one of the instruments is out of tune.

What makes an alto flute different from a flute?
Alto flute has a lower pitch than a normal flute.
What does the flute relate to most in the woodwinds family?
The flute is basically it's own thing... pretty much nothing else is related to it, but the closest thing to relations is probably the Clarinet.... and don't say sax is because the sax is when the clarinet and trumpet have babies
How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?
The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.
Why is the clarinet called the clarinet?
"Clarinet" actually comes from the French word, "clarionette", or "little trumpet". This has to do with the size of the clarinet as well as the sounds and tone of its higher notes.
Can you build a clarinet reed?
Yes there are you tube videos about building a clarinet reed.

Is the alto sax similar to the clarinet?
There are many similarities. The mouthpiece and reed are similar, as is the embouchure (how you use the small muscles around the mouth), although the clarinet embouchure requires more strength. In the middle octave, from fourth line D to B above the staff, the primary fingerings are the same. There are differences, too. In addition to the obvious different shape and weight of the instruments, the sax overblows at the octave, meaning the middle octave has the same fingerings for each note as in the low octave (except for the addition of the octave key), while the clarinet overblows at the twelfth, meaning the fingering for the low octave is different. For example, the fingering for middle C with the addition of the register key sounds a G in the middle register of the clarinet. The more complicated fingering and the additional embouchure strength required to play clarinet makes it harder for a sax player to learn the clarinet than it is for a clarinet player to learn sax. Many teachers encourage young players who are interested in saxophone to start on clarinet. The young clarinet player doesn't have to deal with the weight of the sax, and learns skills that transfer easily.
How are the clarinets different and how are the clarinets the same?
difference: They are in different size, which makes different tones and pitches. For example: a piccolo clarinet makes a higher sound than b-flat clarinet because it is small.similarity: They are still clarinets, they look similar and are made of the same material(Some materials are wood, plastic)
Who makes the clarinet?
The clarinet is made by factories with authorized brand names.

How does a clarinet produce sound of different pitches?
The register key, on the back of the clarinet, makes the sound higher. The sound becomes higher because the air moves through the instrument differently to make the pitch higher.

Yes there are you tube videos about building a clarinet reed.
What makes a clarinet vibrate sound?
The speed of the air being blown through it makes the vibrations. But the player uses their tongue to control the vibrations and help to define the different tones when playing!! Hope this helped !! ;)
