A clarinet is a long, usually black woodwind instrument. You blow into a mouthpiece with a thin reed, and you press keys along the tube to change the notes. The low notes can sound warm and smooth; the high notes sound brighter. You will hear it in orchestras, concert bands, jazz, and school music clubs. In pictures it looks like a straight dark pipe with a bell at the bottom. For many students it is the next wind instrument after the recorder.
豎笛、單簧管（台灣音樂課多說豎笛；中國大陸較常說單簧管。直笛才是 recorder）
組成Borrowed from Italian clarinetto, a smaller form of clarino (“trumpet”), because early clarinets had a strong, trumpet-like sound; clarino goes back to Latin clarus (“clear, bright”). Some say it came instead through French clarinette, a smaller form of a word for a bell, also from a “clear” root, again from Latin clarus.
