Where is the serial number on a clarinet?

I would like to know how I can be sure that the bell and the slide are the original combination. I bought an old Bach 12. Engraved in the slide is 3623 Model 12. The Bell says New York 67. The colour of the Bell and the outer slide differs a bit (the slide has a red nuance). I am very happy with this instrument, but I would like to know about this. :-)

Who made the first clarinet?

The clarinet was developed from an instrument called the Chalemeau.

Johann 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 is a clarinet pad saver?

A pad saver is a long, soft, brush-like "wick" or "mop" that is inserted into the clarinet. The marketing idea behind this product is that the pad saver will wick-off moisture and prevent it from accumulating on and damaging the pads. Unfortunately, this doesn't always work as well as advertised and might even cause problems -- and bad odors too. This isn't from poor design but from poor maintenance on the part of the user, that is, using the pad saver only and not bothering to remove most of the moisture with a swab first.

It is usually enough to run a clean silk swab through the clarinet (and mouthpiece) right after using it. When arriving home open up the case and let the clarinet (and case) air out for a while. Of course, be careful of sudden temperature changes if it is a wood clarinet.

If you decide on using pad savers be sure to use them in conjunction with a good quality (preferably silk) swab first. And be sure to wash them (and the swab too) often, begin careful to let them dry completely before putting them back in service.

What is harder to play a flute or a clarinet?

It is difficult to say which is the easiest to learn. While the flute requires one to use their mouth and the air they blow to hit the right notes, the clarinet uses a reed, which can be difficult to learn how to use properrly, and it still requires the proper air to make the notes.

Both require learning the proper finger positions for each note, so they are equal on that level.

While some believe it takes much longer to learn the flute, it actually takes about the same amount of time to learn either instrument. Learning either one depends on the person and how much effort they are prepared to put into learning the instrument. Also, one may be easier than the other for a particular individual.

How do you play my heart will go on on the clarinet?

I'm not sure how to play it exactly but if you go on you tube and look for someone playing this song on the piano and transposing the notes one at a time (this is very tedious) then you can get the melody. transposing the notes depends on the type of clarinet you have (ex B flat or E flat) if it's B flat then you count 3 keys up (when played on the keyboard the key being played included when you're counting the keys) this can take a very long time but it's an amazing song to play :)

Brcause their efforts indicated an American presence in China, it provide a rationale for maintaing combat forces in China that could have better have been employed in Oceania and like the Doolitlle Raid it had a Psychological impact that greatly exceeded its strategic importance.

Like other strategic events in WW-2, the Maruders, The Doolittle Raid, Iwo Jima and the attack and defense of Gualalcanal were not as important as war winners like Kursk or Stalingrad, but they all contributed, they all gave their utmost, and they, like the A-Bomb won WW2.

What is the mood of a clarinet?

The clarinet is practically any mood.

The clarinet is prominent in so many genres of music because it can play in many different "moods." This is why it can play in classical, jazz, contemporary, country, and other genres. While it may be a inspecific, broad answer, it is the truth: the clarinet's mood, unlike that of many other instruments, encompasses a large spectrum of moods too numerous to quantify (especially since "mood" is too inspecific a term to count) because it is such an expressive instrument. For example, the clarinet can be serious, bright, jazzy, sad, dark, cheerful, playful, dramatic, etc. Because the clarinet can be played in so many ways, classical players often define themselves as having a "German" sound- serious, dark, and dramatic- or a "French" sound- bright and cheerful.
