How old is cavalier clarinet serial number 09958?
The Cavalier line of band instruments was established or launched in 1931 by the Conn Ltd subsidiary or division Pan American Band Instrument and Case Co. While dating by serial number for Cavalier is yet to be established, the relatively low number would indicate a dating between 1931 and 1935. Currently a study is being conducted to try to establish dating for the Cavalier line similar to that which has become accepted for the Conn and Pan American brands.
Why can't you get sound out of my clarinet?
Well therecould be many reasons. One is you are putting to much mouth on the mouthpiece and remember to have teeth on top folded lip on bottom. Another reason is your reed is either to soft or to hard. If it is to hard you usually get no sound or very little sound. If your reed is soft you squeak more than usual. The last reason is you need to clean out your instrument. If your sound is very airy then that is probably why.

Are first act clarinets good quality clarinets?
No. I have heard that you can break those clarinets in half easily. Are you looking for a beginning clarinet? If you are to get any clarinet, I would invest a little bit more money and buy a brand like Selmer, Yamaha, or a Buffet B12. Those are good brands for a beginning clarinetist.

What is the octave difference between a clarinet and a alto saxophone?
The clarinet has a much larger range than the saxophone - over three full octaves in the useable range, not including the upper altissimo. That normal range is from written E, an octave below the treble staff, to G an octave above the treble staff. The most common clarinet is the Bb soprano, and the range sounds from concert D in the middle of the bass clef to concert F, an octave above the treble staff.
The alto sax is in Eb with a written range from Bb just below middle C to F or F#, an octave above the treble staff. The range sounds from Db in the middle of the bass clef (one half tone lower than the lowest clarinet note), to Ab or A, one ledger line above the treble staff. That's six notes of the scale below the top of the normal clarinet range.
The same written note sounds a fifth (five scale notes, inclusive) lower on the alto sax. For example, a written middle C sounds a concert Bb on the clarinet and the next lower concert Eb on the alto sax.

What brands of B-flat clarinets can you buy?
there are many brands of clarinets that you can buy. depending on what level you are on and what you are willing to spend are big factors on what kind of clarinet you should puchase. there are many entry level clarinets that are primarly for beginners such as vito, jupiter, leblanc, yamaha, selmer, artley, and many more(mostly every brand of istruments has beginning, intermediate, and advanced/professional level instruments). these clarinets are most of the time around 500 to 800 dollars and are made of plastic. next there are imtermediate and professional model clarinets. if you are going to buy one of theses step up model clarinets i sugest that you buy a buffet model. though there are other wodden clarinets that are professional model and intermediate level that you can buy the buffet model is what all of the professional clarinet players play on. Now the buffet clarinets are usually in the price range of 1000 to 3000 dollars depending on the model you buy. for example the buffet e-11 is an intermediate clarinet that is wooden with silver plated keys. these are usually a little over 1000 dollars without tax. my professional model buffet r-13 was $2962.80 with tax. It is an amazing instrument if you are planning to make somthing of your music or if you are a professional player looking for a new instrument. Heres a piece of advice. If you are buying a new wooden clarinet DO NOT buy it off of ebay. You may trust the dealer but unless you know the person personally or they live in your area don't do it. because you dont know if the instrument has cracks in the wood or in what state of condition the pads and screws are in. It is far more expensive but buying it from a trusted music store is your best bet if you are going to get a new instrument. I hope this helped you
Where can you find the clarinet part to Ben Harper's Suzie Blue?
Iv looked everywhere and i can't seem to find anyone who has written out the clarinet part. There probably isn't published music anywhere for it because it is more of an improvised section than a solo.
When was the clarinet invented?
The modern clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau. This instrument was similar to a recorder, but with a single-reed mouthpiece and a cylindrical bore. Lacking a register key, it was played mainly in its fundamental register, with a limited range of about one and a half octaves. It had eight finger holes, like a recorder, and two keys for its two highest notes. At this time, contrary to modern practice, the reed was placed in contact with the upper lip.
Around the turn of the 18th century, the chalumeau was modified by converting one of its keys into a register key to produce the first clarinet.
It depends, there are two brand 'Wurlitzer' clarinets. If the name only says 'Wurlitzer' then expect to pay about $150 for a used one, but if it is Fritz Wurlitzer Reform-Boehm clarinet it is an entirely different story, and will go for somewhere around $10,000 used or around $17,000 new.
