The clarinet is a woodwind made of plastic or black wood, student models are usually made out of black plastic. The keys are made out of silver-colored metal. The shape of a clarinet is an elongated cone. Clarinets are single-reed instruments whose sound comes from a reed, usually made of cane. When the musician blows on the reed vibrating air creates the tone. The tone of a clarinet is usually a warm and rich sound however it can vary widely. The clarinet can be heard in many different types of musical groups from military bands to orchestra jazz groups. In orchestras, clarinets can play wonderful accompaniments due to how well they blend with other many other instruments. They also can play gorgeous solos and many composers allow them to do just this.
There are many clarinet variations, such as Bass clarinet, Chalumeau, Basset-horn, Zummara, Bungi, Diple, Launeddas, each has its own features. However, most American clarinetists own a B-flat clarinet. Professionals who play in orchestras usually own a clarinet pitched in A, barely distinguishable from the B-flat, but pitched a half-step lower. Together with a smaller E-flat clarinet (of about half the length), these are the soprano clarinets. There is also an alto clarinet in E-flat and a bass clarinet in B-flat, pitched an octave below the sopranos. Both of these look like larger versions of the soprano but with an upturned silver bell and a bent silver tube (neck) connecting the mouthpiece to the larger, taller, body. Contrabass clarinets in E-flat and B-flat are pitched an octave below the bass and alto clarinets, but are more rare. Along with the upturned bell and bent neck, the contrabass clarinets have extra tubing to produce the lower-pitched tones.
