Clarinet

Clarinet is a woodwind instrument with a cylindrical bore and a single-reed mouthpiece.
The clarinet has roots in early single-reed instruments used in Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt.
The modern clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau.
The number of keys on the clarinet has evolved over time, with improvements in tuning and fingerings.
The clarinet of the Classical period typically had five keys.
The number of keys was limited because their felt pads did not seal tightly.
Iwan Müller remedied this by countersinking the tone holes for the keys and covering the pads with soft leather.
The typical embouchure also changed, orienting the mouthpiece with the reed facing downward.
