Compared with the German style clarinet, the inner chamber of the French clarinet is relatively thin and the wood is slightly thin, so the pronunciation will be easier, and the tone will be looser and softer. Compared with the German style clarinet, it is precisely this loose vibration that makes the French clarinet has a great possibility of changing the sound quality and color. If the sound of the German clarinet is compared to the unity and rigor of German machinery, then the French clarinet is as ever-changing as the sea.

The French clarinet has a simpler structure than the German style clarinet. The French clarinet does not have the complicated mechanical structure of the German style clarinet, and the re-developed key system is also simpler for fingering. Compared with the traditional German style clarinet, the timbre of the French clarinet is also looser, and its expressiveness is more suitable for playing the style works after the rapid development of romanticism.

However, the mouthpiece of the German style clarinet is smaller, so the airflow is gathered through the air inlet, and then transmitted to the tube body to bring a fuller vibration, so that the sound quality of the pronunciation will be more concentrated and the sound will be stronger.

Through the above introduction and analysis of the difference between the characteristics of the French clarinet and the German style clarinet, hope it helps you.
