Introduction of Different Parts

The tube adopted by the clarinet is made of wood and cut into five segments for convenient carrying and repair. Since the air column is designed with the closed construction, the pipe length is only half of pipe length of other woodwind instruments. This product is available in Bb key and A key. It is a transposing instrument.
