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.


Do the Soprano Saxophone and the Clarinet sound the same?

No. The saxophone and clarinet are totally different voices, else one of the instruments could simply be eliminated.


Do all clarinets have the same fingering?

Yes, they do. It is the length of the instrument that determines the pitch differences. For example the bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the B-flat clarinet; the shorter E-flat soprano clarinet sounds a fifth higher than the B-flat.


Is sheet music for the clarinet the same as sheet music for the flute?

No but it is the same as the trumpet & piano(Afgncaap8 disagrees, saying that clarinet music isdifferent from flute, and that it is the same as trumpet, but the clarinet has different music than the piano! The piano is a C instrument, whereas the typical trumpet and clarinet tend to be tuned to B-flat. However, usually the flute and the piano are both tuned to C, so their music could be the same.)

How does the shape of the sound wave alter the sound?

The shape of the sound wave alters the "timbre" of the sound. The best way to explain this is that a clarinet and a trumpet playing the same note have the same pitch, but the harmonics characteristic of each instrument are different, and so it's easy to tell the difference between the two.

Can you play sheet music for a piano on a clarinet?

No, they do not. When a clarinet player plays a "C" it actually sounds a "B-flat". The two instruments can play together if the clarinet part is written a whole step higher than the piano part.
