Advantages of Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument
 
01/

Good for your fitness
One of the benefits of learning the clarinet is the fact it can improve your fitness and health. Bet you didn't think of that! Playing the clarinet requires your full lung capacity and is one of the most important skills when playing a woodwind instrument. You need to be able to control your breathing, which requires a strong core. The constant breathing exercise is also like a workout for you lungs and diaphragm.

02/

Improves your coordination
There are a lot of keys on the clarinet, much more than the 3 valves on a trumpet. Playing the clarinet will help your hand-eye coordination immensely. If you have ever watched a clarinet player, you might've noticed that their fingers move crazily quick. This takes time and practice. You have to move them in the right order, whilst also reading the music, thinking about your embouchure and all the different techniques, and also your posture.

03/

It's a social instrument
The clarinet is a popular instrument in the music world, and is required in many bands, such as orchestras, meaning you'll most likely have the chance to join a band. Being in a band is more than just music. It has a massive social side to it, and can be great fun and a stress relief from everyday life.

04/

It's portable
Clarinets, thankfully, can be packed up nicely into a small portable case which can be carried around pretty much anywhere. Unlike a trombone, or keyboard, you can easily stick your clarinet on your shoulder or into your bag and you can be on your way to rehearsals, it's also quite a light instrument compared to others, and doesn't require massive strength to be able to carry it or hold it when playing.

What Does Playing An Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument Feel Like?

Playing an electric clarinet feels quite different from a traditional acoustic clarinet. The sound is produced electronically rather than from a vibrating reed, so the physical sensation of playing is altered. The mouthpiece and keys still require the same breath control and finger dexterity, but there is less resistance and vibration. The player experiences a more immediate, responsive, and amplified sound that can be further manipulated through effects pedals and digital processing. The lack of an acoustic resonating chamber also changes the overall feel, with less physical feedback from the instrument. Electric clarinets allow for greater versatility in tone and expression, but require adjustments to the performer's embouchure and technique compared to an acoustic clarinet.

 

Components of Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument

 

The clarinet is a reed instrument in the woodwind family. You produce sound by blowing air along the reed, controlling the vibration of a column of air.

Traditionally, the parts of a clarinet's body are made of a dense, hard wood called grenadilla, or african blackwood. Beginner-level instruments are often made of plastic or a synthetic resin, while some advanced instruments are made with an engineered blend of grenadilla wood particles and polycarbonate.

 

Mouthpiece, reed, and ligature
The mouthpiece is where your sound begins. It is made of hard rubber or plastic. It holds the reed, secured by a ligature.

 

The reed is a carved and shaped piece of cane. Cane reeds need to be moistened and carefully maintained. They wear out with use and need to be replaced frequently. Optionally, there are synthetic reeds, which are longer-lasting, but most musicians and teachers prefer cane reeds.

Intermediate and professional clarinetists often customize their clarinet with a different mouthpiece to produce different kinds of tones and ease playability.

 

A mouthpiece will come with a ligature to hold the reed in place. Ligatures can be made of metal, cloth or leather.

 

Barrel
The barrel connects the mouthpiece with the rest of the clarinet and contributes to the instrument's tone. The clarinet is tuned by adjusting the barrel's position very slightly. Professional musicians often customize their clarinets with a replacement barrel that helps create the kind of tone they want.

 

Upper joint
The longest part of the clarinet's column of air is divided into two sections that come apart.

 

The upper joint holds the tone holes and keys that you play with your left hand to produce different notes. The keys of the upper joint are connected to the lower joint using the bridge key mechanism.

 

On the back of the upper joint is the register key, which enables playing notes in the upper register.

 

Lower joint
The lower joint also contains keys and tone holes, which you play with your right-hand fingers. On the back is the thumb rest, where - you guessed it - you put your right-hand thumb to hold the instrument.

 

Keys and tone holes
The keys and the tone holes are connected to levers that you manipulate to enable you to close the holes in different combinations. This changes the vibrating frequency of the column of air, enabling you to play different notes.

 

Bell
The bell is the flared piece at the end of the air column. It amplifies the sound.

 

How to Assemble a Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument

Moisten your reed
Take a reed and put the tip into a glass with two to three inches of water. Let it soak for no more than three minutes. Alternately, you can place the tip of the reed in your mouth and let your saliva moisten it. Be sure not to let your teeth contact the reed, and don't suck on it.

 

Grease the corks
Each section of the clarinet is fitted into the next by means of a short, protruding tenon which is wrapped in cork.

 

Your clarinet comes with a starter stick or tub of cork grease. Apply a small amount of grease to the cork and use your finger to spread it all the way around. Do this for each piece of cork on each section before pushing the sections together. If your clarinet is brand-new, you will need to apply grease the first few times you reassemble the clarinet. After that you only need to apply grease if the joints are sticking and not coming together easily. The proper amount of grease not only creates a tight seal at each joint, but also preserves the cork and reduces the need for repairs.

 

Attach the bell
Fit the bell onto the lower joint with a slight twist.

 

Assemble the upper and lower joints
Take the upper joint in your left hand and hold down the ring key, which lifts up the bridge key, identified in this photograph.

 

Take the lower joint in your right hand, holding it by the bottom. Place your fingers on the wood rather than the metal to avoid damaging the keywork.

 

Align the two parts of the bridge key mechanism. Push the two joints together with a slight twisting motion. The bridge key on the upper joint must align with its corresponding piece of the mechanism on the lower joint in order for the lower pads to seal properly.

 

Attach the mouthpiece to the barrel
Take out the mouthpiece. Remove its cover, or guard, and remove the ligature.

 

Fit the cork of the mouthpiece onto the narrow, top end of the barrel with a slight twist.

 

Mount the reed onto the mouthpiece
Holding the barrel and the mouthpiece together, fit the loosened ligature around the mouthpiece. The head of the ligature screw should face to the right as you look at the reed. Take the reed by the thicker end, the heel. Feed the heel through the ligature with the flat end against the mouthpiece. Line up the tip of the reed with the tip of the mouthpiece. Don't touch the tip of the reed.

 

Now tighten the screws on the ligature to hold the reed firmly in place.

 

Attach the mouthpiece and barrel to the clarinet
Pick up the assembled clarinet with the thumb rest facing you. Attach the barrel to the upper joint with a twist so that the reed is on the back of the clarinet, lined up with the register key and the thumb rest.

 

 

Working Principle of Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument

The player blows air into a mouthpiece which has a reed (piece of shaped cane) placed underneath and attached by a clamp known as the ligature. The mouthpiece is then attached to the barrel, which connects to the top of the clarinet body. The moving air causes the reed to vibrate and the vibration travels down the tube of the clarinet and out the bell (and other holes along the way). This vibration becomes the sound of the clarinet. As the player depresses the keys, or the fingers cover the holes in the correct combinations, the clarinet sounds the required note.

Materials Used in Electric Clarinet Wind Instrument

 

There are four main materials that clarinets are made from. Be aware that a good quality abs resin clarinet will be a far better instrument than a poor quality wood instrument.

Plastic

The cheapest clarinets are made from simple plastics. The material is very hard, but usually is also very brittle. If the clarinet is accidentally dropped, it is likely that part of the body will break, and the instrument will not be worth repairing. Generally, the keywork mechanisms will be made from softer metals, and the manufacturing standards will be of less quality, to keep the price as low as possible. These clarinets generally will go out of adjustment very easily, and will make learning more difficult. It is likely that you will regularly hear an annoying squeak or sqwark when the instrument is going "in and out" of fine adjustment. In any case, the tone will be "harsher" than those made of resin or wood.

Abs resin

Better quality entry level clarinets will be made from this class of thermoplastic which is a mix of polymers and a variety of resins. This material is extremely durable and has higher impact strength. Often the body will be finished with a brushed effect to make it look more like black wood. Jupiter abs resin clarinets, in particular have a nicer sound, are easier to play and are much more mechanically reliable than cheaper plastic models.

Synthetic / hard rubber

Not to be confused with abs resin, this material used by backun for their alpha model clarinet, provides excellent sonic capabilities, exceptional tone and doesn't restrict learning or skill development. The price is not much more than an abs clarinet which makes this the best choice for students. Backun's alpha also gives professional players an instrument that they can confidently use for performances where a wooden instrument might not be appropriate.

Wood

Most wood clarinets are made from grenadilla which is an african blackwood. The colour can vary from very dark to black (not ebony wood used by some makers in past decades). As the supply of premium woods become rarer, some manufacturers stain each part so that the clarinet looks like it has been made from one "block". Others are made from exotic hardwoods like cocobolo which has a beautiful and colourful grain. High quality wood clarinets are generally made in france or canada. Typically they will sound warmer, richer and more solid than the other instruments. They also require a higher monetary investment, so they are often "step-up" or professional quality instruments rather than your first instrument.

 

FAQ

 

Q: When was the clarinet invented?

A: It is believed that the clarinet was invented by christoph denner in 1690. It has been reported that it was made from boxwood and had two keys that were made from brass. Before this the egyptians had created a single reed, instrument called the zummara.

Q: How many keys are there on a standard bb clarinet?

A: There are 17 keys on a standard clarinet. Some keys have more than one function and there will generally be more than one key played at any one time. The clarinet has an octave key which enables the player to reach the higher notes.

Q: Is it easy to play a clarinet?

A: The clarinet is no harder or easier than any other orchestral instrument that a beginner may learn. It is the usual case with an instrument that you blow that arguably the hardest part of learning is getting a sound out in the first place. Once you have learned where your mouth needs to go on the mouthpiece, and how hard, or not, to blow you will get a sound and the journey will begin. Like any instrument you will normally learn one note at a time and learn how to join these together before moving on to another note.

Q: Do I need a reed to get a sound out of the clarinet?

A: Yes! Your clarinet will not work without a reed. The clarinet is a reed instrument along with the saxophone, bassoon and oboe. The reed enables the air to travel through the clarinet and enable the vibration of air to produce a sound. Your teacher will advise on reeds, but it is usual to start on a 1.5 reed and progress to a 2 and then 2.5 as your competence improves. It is a good idea to buy a good brand of reed as cheaper reeds often aren't made very well and can make it more difficult to get a good tone. The number refers to the thickness of the reed and the higher the number, the thicker the reed, and the harder to play.

Q: What is a clarinet made from?

A: Student clarinets are usually made from abs (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin. It is a form of plastic and usually in a dark colour. It is manufactured to be strong and gives a similar resonance to wood in terms of sounds that can be produced. Professional clarinets will usually be made from african hardwood (mpingo or grenadilla).

Q: How many types of clarinet are there?

A: There are over ten types of clarinet. The common clarinet is the bb clarinet and apart from young students using the nuvo clarinet everyone will start on the bb. Other clarinets include the eb which is about half the size of a bb and then going to larger, bass clarinets.

Q: Who are famous clarinettists?

A: Starting with anton stadler (1753-1812) who inspired mozart to write certain music in a certain style as the clarinet wasn't a well-known instrument. Through to modern players such as emma johnson who was born in 1966 and won the young musician of the year competition in 1984.

Q: What is a famous piece of clarinet music?

A: There are many sonatas and concertos for the clarinet, and the beauty of the instrument is shown at its highest level with these soloists. One of the best pieces of music for showing off the clarinet to someone who doesn't know what it sounds like or its capabilities would probably be rhapsody in blue by gershwin. It is mesmerising to listen to the clarinet being able to be this nimble across the notes.

Q: What does single reed and double reed mean?

A: Some woodwind instruments use a single reed, and some a double and they are as they say on the tin! Clarinets and saxophones use single reeds – they are just one very thin piece of reed that attach to the mouthpiece. The oboe and bassoon will use a double reed, and these are often hand made. They are more of a tube, hence double, as they are created from two pieces of reed and then woven together at the bottom. These reeds attach differently to the single reeds which are flat on – they are fixed into the instrument.

Q: Why do I need different strength reeds for my clarinet?

A: The reeds come in different strengths which really should read different thickness. The lower numbered reeds are more suitable for beginners and are thinner. This makes it easier to get a sound out as they haven't got the resistance of a thicker reed. As the player progresses, they will move up in half measurements. The harder, or thicker, reed gives a better tone and makes the higher notes easier to reach. The teacher will advise on strength of reed required but most beginners will start on a 1.5 strength. Professional players will use number 4 reeds, or higher, and often have a stash of reeds that they use for different types of music.

Q: How do I clean my clarinet?

A: The clarinet is relatively easy to care for. It is important that it is cleaned between uses to keep the moisture out of the clarinet and thereby not ruining the pads in the keys. By pulling a swab through each section of the clarinet you will also remove debris from eating and drinking before or during playing the clarinet. The reed should be taken off the clarinet and stored in its plastic case. As soon as a reed is split or chipped it is no good to the player. The clarinet should be taken apart, cleaned and then stored in its case to keep it safe. If a clarinet is being left out between practice or playing it can be stored on a special clarinet stand which will help, ensure that it isn't dropped or fall off something that it is left on.
