It is potentially a 1928 model. I found this page on the serial numbers related to the year of the clarinet. The link is located in the related links section below.

Clarinets come in many keys. The most common key is Bb (B flat), in which the tuning note is C. There are many other kinds of clarinets including the alto clarinet, bass clarinet, Eb clarinet, and many more.

Well I bought my clarinet when i was living in the states and it cost me about 800 dollars... which is a pretty fair price seeing as everyone else i know, who has a clarinet, bought it for over 1,000 dollars.

It depends if you want to a) rent a clarinet or b) buy it. If you chose a, you gradualy pay a steady $60 until you have paid for it completly. If you chose b, it usually costs $600 to $700. and sometimes you may buy an old, old one.. so wat would u pay for that The price of a clarinet depends on the quality that you want, if you want just a basic clarinet if your just startinf out then probably £100-£200. But if you want the best of the best it can cost £500+

Key: T=thumb R=register key #= cover hole x= leave open

Throat tone A (between 2nd and 3rd leger lines): A key only (key above first finger lh)
Lower Altissimo A (1 leger line above staff): tr 12x xxx
Upper altissimo A (above 4th leger line above staff): tr x23 xxx c/f key
Concert A = B on Bb clarinet



Its the one above the f sharp for high a.

The two related links point to youtube videos provided by Reeds'n Stuff, showing a master class in reed making. The videos are in German (with English Translations of the tool names) which can be a little frustrating, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, these two videos are worth a whole lot more!

If you freeze the first video after the seven reed stages appear, they are, from left to right, the cleaned cane (arundo Donax is the common reed cane), split cane piece, a piece cut to length, the piece after the bottom is planed flat, after the sides are tapered and the bottom sanded, pre-shaped, and after the final shaping.

Watching the videos shows how these steps are achieved, and the amazing test of the reed after the final shaping: unlike double reeds, once the last shaping step is complete, the reed is finished!

The speed of the air being blown through it makes the vibrations. But the player uses their tongue to control the vibrations and help to define the different tones when playing!!

Hope this helped !! ;)

Artie Shaw played a Conn clarinet. His clarinet is now in the Smithsonian storage facility. Unfortunately, Conn is no longer an independent entity. It was acquired by Selmer, another company most commonly associated with Benny Goodman.

The piccolo is generally used as a color instrument in a large ensemble, so it's not typically an instrument you start playing in order to get famous. That being said, there were a number of notable piccolo players in the bands of the 19th century (see link below), and some very fine piccolo concerti have been written in the past 20 years.

i need the answer too....

These are the notes. And this - means it's a long note. There are no low C's or D's in this song

D B B- C A A- G A B C D D D- D B B- C A A- G B D D B- A A A A A B C- B B B B B C D-

D B B- C A A- G B D D G-

It will have a different quality of sound because the keys on a piano cause a string to be hit with a small padded hammer, not plucked or bowed as on a violin. The pitch should not be different. If it is, one of the instruments is out of tune.

To change the loudness on a clarinet you can change the reeds which come from 1-5, 1 being the easiest reed to play and 5 being the hardest to play.

No CNET in Bb Tuba is in BBb or also known as C

Musically, pitch is altered in genres like jazz on purpose. Moving one's jaw back and forth can vary the pitch; so can embouchure, or mouth position. A tight embouchure will produce a sharp note, a loose one a flat note, and of course to have a note in tune your embouchure has to be just right.

Sometimes pitch must be corrected because a clarinet must is out of tune. It the clarinet is sharp, start by pulling the barrel out slightly from the upper joint, and if it is still sharp when you've pulled it out as much as you can, try the bell, and pulling the upper joint from the lower joint. If a pitch is flat, push in. Sometimes the clarinet will be flat with everything fully pushed in; this means that the instrument is cold, which is why before you tune you must quite literally warm up- with scales, difficult passages, etc. If you are playing with others and notice that you are out of tune with them (you will hear a vibrating sound), either because you or they are out of tune (it is better to be equally flat than one person perfectly tuned and another flat), you can alter your embouchure to match their pitch.

If you are interested in the physics behind a clarinet, this is a great (but verbose, lengthy and extensive) resource: newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/clarinetacoustics.html

The link below goes to a list of Leblanc clarinet serial numbers. If I understand this chart, it was probably made in 1998, but since they restarted the numbers in 1984-85, it might have been made in 1983 during the earlier run of numbers.

Since 1983 began with D25636 and ended with E13604, if the D-numbers ran all the way up to D35614 before they went to E-numbers, that would have been a run of 23,582 Vito instruments made that year. In 1982 they made 24,056 Vitos, so that's possible.

What I don't know is when the V40 model came out. Somebody else?

Well, there are three main fingerings for a B on the clarinet. There is a lower B which is fingered thumb, 1,2,3, and 5. A higher B is fingered thumb, register, 1,2,3,4,5,6, and with both pinkies. A really high B is fingered thumb, register, and 1. There are many fingering books and charts out there, probably some online if you need more help.

Yes. Two major brands include Tourte and Glasel. They are sold at most major strings stores.

it depends if the clarinet has had extra keys added to it as you can have lower notes added.

it is about 4million

Wood clarinets have a much more mature sound, and are easier to play. They are also more expensive to buy and care for, and take much more time and work to care for. Wood clarinets are more likely to crack under stress or quick temperature changes. Repairs for wood clarinets are also more expensive. Wood clarinets are easier to keep/have in tune because they are made with expert length, width, ect. Resin clarinets are better for use by begginer clarinetists who have been playing for one to three full years because they cost less and are more resistant to damage. However after three years, a clarinetist who wishes to continue learning to play the clarinet should switch to a wooden clarinet because it allows them to access the extreme range much easier as well as switching between register and non register using notes.

Is that supposed to be a question? I onnestly dont understand.
