Show and Tell - Clarinet

The clarinet is a French, woodwind instrument with a reed mouthpiece, a cylindrical tube with a bell at the end, and holes stopped by keys. The clarinet is a woodwind instrument. Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments.There are two main types of woodwind instruments: flutes and reed instruments.  All clarinets consist of five major parts. The mouthpiece with the reed the mouthpiece is usually made of hard rubber, plastic, glass or crystal, sometimes of metal. The reed is fixed onto the mouthpiece with a ligature that uses screws .The barrel or socket - usually the instrument comes with two, one that is a little longer and one that is a little shorter. This is used to fine tune the instrument.The upper joint with the keys for the left hand. The lower joint with the keys for the right hand - both parts could be made from one piece, but having them as two parts makes it easier to handle. The bell - it is responsible for the sound.
