Clarinets comprise a Family (musical instruments), family of instruments of differing sizes and pitches. The clarinet family is the largest woodwind family, ranging from the contrabass clarinet, BBâ™ contrabass to the A-flat clarinet, Aâ™ piccolo. The B soprano clarinet is the most common type, and is the instrument usually indicated by the word "clarinet". German instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner is generally credited with inventing the clarinet sometime around 1700 by adding a register key to the chalumeau, an earlier single-reed instrument. Over time, additional keywork and airtight pads were added to improve the tone and playability. Today the clarinet is a standard fixture of the orchestra and concert band and is used in classical music, military bands, klezmer, jazz, and other styles. Etymol ...

Octocontrabass Clarinet
The contrabass clarinet (also pedal clarinet, after the pedals of pipe organs) and contra-alto clarinet are the two largest members of the clarinet family that are in common usage. Modern contrabass clarinets are transposing instruments pitched in Bâ™, sounding two octaves lower than the common Bâ™ soprano clarinet and one octave below the bass clarinet. Some contrabass clarinet models have extra keys to extend the range down to low written Eâ™, D or C. This gives a tessitura written range, notated in treble clef, of C – F, which sounds B♠– Eâ™. Some early instruments were pitched in C; Arnold Schoenberg's '' FĂĽnf OrchesterstĂĽcke'' specifies a contrabass clarinet in A, but there is no evidence such an instrument has ever existed. The smaller Eâ™ contra-alto clarinet is sometimes referred to as the "Eâ™ contrabass clarinet" and is pitched one octave lower than the Eâ™ alto clarinet. Two models of subcontrabass clarinet (the octocontra-alto and octocontrabass) were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
