What are REEDS made of?

A reed is a small wedge of wood, or sometimes plastic, used in instruments like the saxophone, clarinet, and oboe. The reed attaches to the mouthpiece of the instrument where the player's breath causes it to vibrate while they play. These vibrations are what cause the sound to flow throughout the instrument.

How do you make a sound from the clarinet?

If you've seen a clarinet, you'll know that they're very intricate, with the size of the keyholes, and the delicate keys etc. Plus, the mouthpiece would be extremely difficult to get exactly right to fit ligatures and reeds etc. You'd also have to find a case that fits your clarinet exactly. So my advice is to just buy one. Making one would not be cheaper, after all of the metal welding and wood. It'd be cheaper, easier, and more reliable to buy a clarinet off a well-known manufacturer, such as Yamaha, or Buffet Compond

What are some famous songs for the clarinet?

Well, that depends on what you mean by popular. One popular song today is Acker Bilk's Stranger on the Shore. Here are some very popular works of the clarinet's

CLASSICAL repertoire:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Concerto, Clarinet Quintet

Gioachino Rossini: Introduction, Theme and Variations

Carl Maria Von Weber: Clarinet Concertino, Clarinet Concerto No. 1, Clarinet Concerto No. 2, Grand Duo Concertant

From the JAZZ repertoire:

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue (only the intro, but it is one of the most well known clarinet excerpts EVER)

Artie Shaw: Clarinet Concerto

pretty much anything by Benny Goodman

Jérome Thomas: Moonlight Serenade

And CONTEMPORARY repertoire (a very odd genre of music, in my opinion, but whatever floats your boat):

Donald Martino: A Set for Clarinet (arguably the hardest song written for Clarinet)

Stravinsky's Three Pieces for Clarinet

Smith's 5 pieces for Clarinet

Berio: Sequenza for Clarinet

Nielsen Clarinet Concerto (This is also considered classical, but many contemporary elements as well)

Copland Clarinet Concerto ( This has a few jazz elements, but ultimately Copland's effort to write a "Jazz Concerto" for Benny Goodman was a failure, and while it is popular, it is definitely not jazz, although it contains a few jazz and classical elements)

What is unique about the clarinet?

The clarinet is a single reed http://www.answers.com/topic/woodwind instrument. Clarinets come in many different sizes, with different pitch ranges. Though there are more than a dozen different modern clarinet types, the most common ones used in orchestras and bands are the B flat and A clarinets. The bass clarinet, which is much bigger than the standard and has an upwardly curved bell, is also frequently used in modern bands and orchestras. Other clarinets include the A flat, B flat, and E flat sopraninos, alto clarinets, contralto, and contrabass clarinets. The standard clarinet consists of five parts-the mouthpiece, the barrel or tuning socket, the upper joint, lower joint, and the bell. A thin piece of cane called a reed must be inserted in the mouthpiece before the instrument can be played. Different notes are produced as the player moves his fingers over holes and metal keys which open and close air holes in the clarinet's body. Mozart was the first compose to put clarinets in an orchestra most wooden clarinets come from Africa

What are the notes for go fight win on a B Flat clarinet?

ll: G-B-C-C#-D-G-G-B-B-C-B-C-C#-D-G-G-F-F-E-F-E-D-C#G-G-G--G-F-E-D-E-F-G :ll

You repeat back to the beginning each time getting faster and faster until you can go your fastest. The last 7 notes, or the notes in between the two G's (G--F-E-D-E-F--G) should be played fast like sixteenth notes. But watch your speed, if you go to fast to the point where the notes come out sloppy, the song will become unappealing after awhile.

Is a bundy 577 selmer resonite clarinet a good instrument?

I would stay clear of any Selmer Bundy instruments. I got a clarinet and a flute of the same make (I'm stupid) and they both were terrible. I finally have better instruments now. A buffet Festival which is a professional model. For a clarinet for a beginner though I would recommend a Buffet beginner model. Also Leblanc instruments are good too.

My friend has a selmer bundy 577. I've played it a fair bit. It's the best student clarinet tone I've ever heard and it blows very easily. Oddly, the barrel is a bit loose on most mouthpieces (except the one it comes with). After trying his, I went clarinet shopping and tried all the Bundys they had in local stores (not 577s though) and they were all very unspectacular. Since they are student models, I imagine that quality is more variable than the pro models, but, like my friend, you might just get lucky.

What are all the different types of pop?

tones There are all types of pop such as: grape, cream soda, root beer, orange, faygo, pepsi, dr. peper, and coke.

Is the violin or clarinet harder to play?

Well it depends. In clarinet, you have to blow to get your musical notes. In violin, you have to just move your bow across a string. I would probably say a clarinet is harder. You have to blow and waste your breath!

A second Opinion...

Well, realistically I would say violin is harder because in clarinet the notes are all there for you. In violin you have to find the notes by ear and shift the position when the music says to. Plus, most violin players do the vibrato. You also have to hold the violin near the shoulder or on it. Clarinet you just have to hold it with hands which is much easier. The violin is also deemed the hardest instrument to play.

I disagree. When you play the violin, all you have to do is move your hands. When you play clarinet you have to, controll embachure, cover the holes, and maintain good air. So clarinet is hands down harder.

How do you describe a clarinet?

The terms for the clarinet are basic musical terms. It actually depends what you are looking for. If you are talking about high and low, you could say up or down an octave.

Trill- when you go back and forth from two different notes at the suggested speed.

Slur- when you go from one note to another and then to another WITHOUT using your tongue to separate the notes.

There are many different scales and exercises to warm up. Most scales can be played in different octaves. The octave key is on the back above the thumb hole. to look at more terms, get a beginners book. All high school and middle school bands start with the beginners book. If you are looking for something specific let me know.

How do you play someone like you on clarinet?

I can sometimes translate piano notes into clarinet notes. Someone I know plays piano and I can translate her songs onto my clarinet. You should try doing what I do and if that doesn't work then maybe you can just stick to listening to Adele's fantastic music without playing along. I hope I could help!

How do you play E sharp on clarinet?

E sharp is enharmonic (sounds the same as an F).

Hope this helps!

Can you play bass clarinet with small hands?

You still can play the flute, just you have to adjust your fingers to play effectively and keep the fingers on the holes. But if you really want to play the flute, but can't, you can still play the piccolo or a treble flute, they're just flutes but smaller, higher, (and in the Treble flute's case) tuned in a different pitch!

Is a Tuba bigger than a Violin or a Clarinet?

How does the clarinet change pitch?

In fact you can change the pitch by nearly one full key by changing the pressure you blow with. Yet when you play a didj you do not want to be forced to play it really soft or really hard just to be in tune. It obviously limits what you can do while playing.

In a well tuned didj the difference caused by changing the pressure is evenly spaced on both sides of the middle note. We actually tune so middle note is closer towards the high end as most good players tend to use rather more pressure. This means that when a beginner plays that didj, it will be under tuned, but once he becomes more proficient he will be able to play it in tune.

The positioning of the lips can affect the tune as well, but I found that this effect is small and that you have to compromise ease of play in order to change the pitch. The tune can also be affected by the shape and height of the beeswax mouthpiece. In general, the larger the hole in the mouthpiece, the further your lips will go into the didj, resulting in a higher pitch. And the higher the mouth piece the lower the pitch.
