The clarinet, a member of the woodwind family, usually consists of a long cylindrical tube with a mouthpiece at one end and a bell-shaped opening at the other end. Usually made of wood, the clarinet has tone holes that are covered by small metal levers. To create sound, the musician blows on a flat cane reed that is attached to the mouthpiece. As the reed vibrates, a full, rich tone is produced. By pushing the keys to close and open the tone holes on the instrument, the pitches of the tone can be changed. Fast running notes can be played almost as easily as the flute. Clarinets in A and clarinets in B-flat are more often used. These two clarinets are transposing instruments.
