Clarinet

The clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. First because clarinet is just like piano where the notes are very easy. But on saxophone there are extra flats and sharps, you have to study things that you don't have to on clarinet, you need more air for saxophone, and the saxophone is very heavy!

On clarinet you learn how to play all the notes in less than a month. If you play saxophone you learn the notes in more than 5 months! The saxophone is a lot harder! If you play saxophone, you need to layer your fingering more precisely too. Also they are tuned differently too. So if you play in a concert, the notes you play will be very confusing on the saxophone. Also the clarinet is very light. So it will be very easy to play clarinet than saxophone. So for my opinion clarinet is easier.

People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect.

Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is much easier than the saxophone.

Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. I play clarinet and saxophone and I can't keep up with saxophone. So please when you consider on choosing your instrument between clarinet and saxophone, choose clarinet.

The previous answer has a point, with the fact that it's a very heavy instrument, depending on which one you play, and the tuning is very confusing as well. But in essence, the clarinet and the saxophone are very similar instruments. Both use a single reed mouthpiece, the same grip on the mouthpiece can be used, and the fingerings are actually very similar. The clarinet is much easier to start off with, but it is very hard to become a master of the clarinet. Especially when the vast majority of the classical music out there has the clarinet playing in it's highest register. The Saxophone however, is quite hard to start off with, but to become very good at the instrument, is very easy when compared to the clarinet.

The hardest thing with the saxophone are the harmonics. The harmonics of the instrument is the vibration of the reed creating the sound, and depending on the vibration of the reed, created a different tone. With the saxophone's harmonics, it is very hard to play lower than a G when first starting, because the harmonics of the instrument make it very hard to control the pitch. You tighten your grip on the mouthpiece, the note jumps an octave. To play a low C, for example, you must drop your jaw and blow very hard to sound the note. It is also very hard to tongue in this register; I find it easier to use the lower jaw to articulate in this register.

I play both Clarinet and Tenor Saxophone, which are both tuned in the of Bb, and Clarinet was my first instrument. Yes, it is very easy to squeak on the Clarinet, but it is not very easy to squeak on the Sax, even if you try. I started the Sax after two and a half years of Clarinet, and I got the hang of the clarinet within a month, playing all the way up the register and down. I got better on saxophone in about 5 months so man468 has a point about that.

My point is; it depends on the playing style. If you play alot of concert band material, switching from clarinet to sax is fairly easy. Playing Classical repertoire,

with the higher notes, sax will turn out to be very hard and frustrating at first. Plus, the weight isn't really a factor, the whole instrument's weight is held on the neck strap, and if you get a really good padded one, it's great playing the sax. Your lungs quickly get used to the amount of air needed for the sax. It's mostly the amount of pressure you force the air into the instrument, not how much air is needed. Hope this helped alot, and kudos to Man468 for a great answer as well. Cheers :) -KevinV97

They're similar and it's hard to say which is harder, because everyone has a hard time with certain areas where both the instruments demand. For example, the clarinet requires precise tone hole covering while the sax doesn't and the sax requires more air while the clarinet doesn't really need as much air. It's different for everyone, but the norm is that the sax is easier.

3rd Answer:

I play clarinet, soprano, alto, and tenor sax. Sax is much easier. The fingerings are the same or similar, but the clarinet has the dreaded bridge between the low and middle register. The sax is designed with a couple of extra keys to make the 'bridge' simple. The upper register of the clarinet uses different fingering: something that you don't need to memorize when playing sax. A beginner should start with the clarinet . . . moving on to sax is dead simple in comparison!

I think it it worth two dollars

I recently purchased an Anaxa clarinet and it had improved my playing and mouth positioning. Laval is a cheap brand. My Laval clarinet broke within a week of playing and needed two hundred dollars worth of pad repairs

1978

1. search square music on google.com.
2. click the first one
3. look for "game coverage"
4. look for "kingdom hearts" or "kingdom hearts II"
5. click on one of them
6. scroll down to look for "Fan-Arranged Sheet Music and Midis" and click "click here."
7. mac:press command+F and type in your instrument.
8. windows: press control+F and type in your instrument.
9. then you'll find sheet musics

You can go to a instrument shop hopefully with accessories and they sell a spray bottle with a special alcohol in it. it may be green that is what color it is suppose to be. if you spray one side turn it spray the opposite side then spray the inside and it may taste weird just use it the way it is. it will wear off and do that every time you need to. Or place the mouth piece in boiling water for about 5 minutes. It will be very hot so be careful! You should do this if you got sick. They both kill the germs on the mouth piece.

no, if it's a student clarinet in B flat then it is the same as a regular clarinet in B flat. only difference is that the student model will be of lesser quality and maybe somewhat "easier" to play

If you are referring to the YCL-24II, it is made in the US.

NOT Japan.

on youtube look up dynamite with notes. thrn under the subcription it will show all the notes

I cant make the right tempo on here so ill just give you the notes

A can made of aluminum, metal, or tin can be recycled into other products.

A can may be changed by placing holes in it and adding string to make walkie talkies or stilts. Paint, paper or Popsicle sticks can be used to decorate cans to use them as pencil holders. People often use cans to start new plants. Also, bread can be baked in cans.

A good floutist needs good posture, lung/breath control, and dexterity.

Complete control of the mouth is necessary to create proper sound.

Flexibility with fingers and ability to stretch the hand; the more flexible obviously the better.

No. More than likely a poorly made instrument from China (not all instruments from China are bad). Metal is soft, springs are lackluster. The money is better spent getting a used brand name or putting it towards a new one. If you see something that is significantly lower in price than the average price for something be warry. You get what you pay for.

yes it is. my family member had one. there really good!!!!!!

Definately not. The clarinet is part of the woodwind family, which is characterised by a reed on the mouth piece, disregarding the flute, which vibrates when blown across to produce tuned sound. Percussion instruments are typically struck with either the hand or with the appropriate stick to produce sound, and most are untuned. A drum is an example of a percussion instrument: it is played by striking the skin with a drum stick or with the hand. A clarinet is not.

Looks like 1977. Go to this site and see http://www.uark.edu/ua/nc/ClarinetCollections/BuffetClarinetsSerialNumber.htm

Or get it direct from the source at: http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/instruments.php

Brand : Buffet Crampon

Instrument : R 13

Serial number : 179986

Year of manufacturing : 10/03/1977

NOTE: The Buffet on-line serial number database only contains serial numbers for French-made PROFESSIONAL clarinets. If your Buffet is marked "Made in Germany" this database will NOT work for you and any data it provides will NOT be about your clarinet!

There are bass, soprano, and alto.

But there are more than Three sizes! There is the Eb soprano, Bb soprano (most commonly seen), Alto clarinet, Bass clarinet, Contra-alto clarinet, and contra-bass clarinet. There is also an A clarinet!

Reeds vary in how long they'll last between brands. In any case, buy yourself a good reed case (or holder) that keeps the reeds flat while not in use. If you live in a very dry or very humid area, get a case that has some form of humidity control.

Also, keep a good number of reed in use by using a different one every day and cycling them. You'll get better life out of each and if one gets damaged you wont't have to go a day or two breaking a new one in just when you really need a good one (which is so often the case!). And by keeping a number of reeds cycling like this you'll learn to discern which ones are really good and which are mediocre.

When you play piano, it's a step higher than clarinet because clarinet is not a concert pitched instrument, so you have to take what note is on the piano and lower it one.

Example: You're playing a G on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an A on clarinet because it's a step higher.

Example 2: You're playing an E on piano and you want to play it on clarinet. You then play an F# on the clarinet.

Check by ear just in case!

wood or plastic resin? this makes a difference not only in the wuality of sound but the weight ratios of the instrument. a plastic clarinet will typically weigh less than a wooden clarinet - BUFFET R13s are the best

The notes to thetempest are concert Bb and mostly high a. At the beginning of the song you slur it not tongue it.

there are several types of a notes.

the most common a is the key right above the note you put your left index finger on. (idk what its called!) no holes are covered.

low a is played by covering all the holes except the bottom one. no keys are pressed.

high a is played by covering the first 3 holes on the front and the one on the back. add the register key. if you have a hard time playing this note, play a C then add the register key. it helped me when i learned it!

hope this info helps!
