AUSECE Strike up the band, Tim Lautzenheiser Ho sso tne Geman rstrument maker Jann Denne vented the caine by vansforing the double reed ‘chalumeau(shall-you-mo) into a single reed instrument. Since the chalumeau could only, play notes ina low range, he added a "register key" to allow his new instrument to play higher notes. ‘The word clarinet comes from the Italian word clarino, used for an older type of high-pitched trumpet. “Today the low range of the clarinet is stl called the “chalumeau register, because of the low notes of the original chalumeau. By the 18405, two French instrument makers narmed Klosé and Buffet had created a carinet fingering system modeled after the flute Key system designed by Boehm. Nearly all clarinets today are made with the Boehm system. ‘The clarinet farily includes the Bb Clarinet, the A Clarinet (used in some orchestra music), the Bb Bass Clarinet, the E Soprano and Alto Clarinets the Eb Contrabess Clarinet and 8 Contrabass Clarinet. Fingerings are virtually the same for all clarinets, making it possible for a clarinetist to play any of the instruments. As one of the primary instruments in the sound of 2 concert band, clarinets play melodies, harmonies and solos. Mozart, Brahms, Weber, Bartok and Hindemith are arnong the important composers who have featured clarinets in their writing. Some famous clarinetists include Richard Stoltzman, Benny Goodman, Eddie Daniels and Stanley Drucker. LINISVTD aH 40 AUOLSIH.
