The 18keys clarinet is a clarinet gassing instrument. It belongs to the main instrument of the orchestra, light, military, jazz and symphony bands. It is a woodwind instrument, and it is also called a black pipe in my country because the body is usually black.

18keys clarinet tube body is divided into 5 parts: nozzle, blowing seat tube, upper tube, lower tube and bell mouth.

18keys clarinet tubes are available in ebony, plastic, mahogany, and hard rubber. The wooden tube has a rich sound, and the plastic tube has a bright sound. The overall length of the tube is about 66CM.

The tones of the 18keys clarinet are divided into A tones and bB tones. We usually use the standard tube bB tones. If we need a highly professional 18keys clarinet, then will be equipped with two tonal tubes for playing. The sound range is e-g3, which is a transposition instrument, and the notation is one whole tone higher than the real pitch.

The bass area is thick and soft, called the Luguan tone area; the midrange area is from f1-bb1, and the sound quality is poor; the treble area b1-g3, round and bright; the highest tone area is sharp. The clarinet, like the saxophone, also needs a reed for sound. So be sure to confirm when buying reeds to prevent buying the wrong reed. After all, the price of the 18keys clarinet with better reeds is not cheap, and it cannot be returned or exchanged if it is disassembled.

Through the above introduction and analysis of 18keys clarinet, hope it helps you.
