What instrument preceded clarinet?
the chalumeau
What common woodwind instrument is a chalumeau?
A Clairinet.
Was the clarinet developed from the earlier instrument the Chalumeau?
Yes. The clarinet evolved from the Chalumeau when someone put a register key on the back to increase the range.
Where was the clarinet origanated?
Germany from an instrument called the chalumeau. But the fingering system is from France.
What was the name of the instrument that was later adapted to become the clarinet?
The "chalumeau", a recorder-like instrument, but with a reed attached to the mouthpiece.
What instrument did john denner create?
Johann Denner created the clarinet, developed from the older instrument called a chalumeau.
What bone was the first clarinet made out of?
While an ancient clarinet-like instrument made from a sheep or goat thigh bone has been found, it was not a true clarinet. It would probably be classifed as a primitive chalumeau - a shepherds instrument that lacks the clarinet's upper register. (The clarinet was developed as a modification of the chalumeau.) Primative chalumeaus were more commonly made of cane, and the few surviving baroque chalameaus were typically made from wood. The bone instrument was not typical, and was probably not the even the first chalumeau.
What instruments are related to the clarinet?
The short answer is 'Nearly all instruments'. The piano was a comparatively late development in the world of musical instruments. The saxophone was certainly invented after the piano, also the electric guitar and all other electric instruments.
How was a clarinet invented?
Invented around 1690, the clarinet is a single-reed woodwind instrument with a cylindrical tube. The clarinet evolved from an earlier instrument called the chalumeau, the first true single reed instrument. Johann Christoph Denner of Nuremburg with the help of his son Jacob improved the chalumeau, creating a new instrument called the clarinet. Denner added two keys to the chalumeau and increased that instruments range by over two octaves. He also created a better mouthpiece and improved the bell (end) of the instrument. In 1843, the clarinet was further improved when Klose adapted the Boehm flute key system to the clarinet. Mozart was the first composer to use the clarinet in a symphony.
When was the clarinet first discovered?
The clarinet wasn't "dicovered" at all. No instruments are. It was invented when someone added a register key to an instrument called a "chalumeau".
