A Clarinet is a straight instrument in the woodwind family. The most common clarinet is called a Bb (B flat) clarinet. Next to the bassoon, the clarinet has the largest pitch ranges.
A Clarinet breaks down into 5 sections:
The mouth piece
The barrel
The upper joint
The lower joint
The bell
In order to make sound, a clarinet requires a single reed (other instruments in this family, such as an Oboe, require a double reed), commonly made from cane. The air rushing past the reed causes it to vibrate, making a sound.
Reeds come in different thicknesses on a grade of 1-5. 1 being the easiest to play, 5 the hardest. However, a better sounding noise will come from a grade 5 reed.
