The clarinet is a kind of woodwind instrument, usually made of African blackwood, hard rubber or metal. It features a beak-shaped mouthpiece and a cylindrical hollow body. The instrument is composed of five detachable sections in a cylindrical shape with an open horn at the lower end. A reed is fixed at the mouthpiece. When the player blows air across the gap between the reed and the mouthpiece, with appropriate pressure from his lower lip, the thin tip of the reed vibrates to make the air column in the instrument tube begin to vibrate, thus producing a melodious tone. Its origins can be traced back to horns and bagpipes, and it is generally believed to have evolved from the chalumeau, a single-reed instrument similar to the recorder. The clarinet is different from the oboe. The clarinet is a transposing instrument, while the oboe is not. The oboe produces sound by vibrating two reeds, while the clarinet produces sound by vibrating a single reed and the mouthpiece.
