Read More »The flute is one of the oldest, most popular and widely used woodwind instruments. As a child, the flute is one of the many woodwinds and brass instruments introduced in primary school. The flute belongs to a large family of flutes (as piccolo, recorder, fife, bansuri etc.). Early members of the flute family can be traced back to Baroque music recorders that were pitched to various pitches and varying colors of the sound. The flute is a close relative to the baroque recorder that consists of a tube with holes made from either metal or wood. Theobald Boehm (1794-1881) was a German inventor and musician, constructed and developed an improved version of what we know today as the modern concert flute in 1847. Notable modifications were made to the keys and metal tube that helped make it more efficient and capable to producing a wider range and improved tuning. To produce sound, you would need to put together three pieces of the instrument: head, body, and foot joint. The anatomy of the clarinet is different from the flute. First of all, clarinet is a single-reed instrument, which means that in order to produce sound that besides of the mouthpiece, natural cane or synthetic reed is needed. Without it, you are not able to produce any sound on the instrument. More advanced players spend hundreds of hours to look for reeds that work for their individual setup. When you travel, you should take additional luggage to put there all your reeds. No worries, it was a joke, but seriously, clarinet players have much more gadgets for the instruments as reeds, accessories for working on reeds, boxes with reeds, etc. than flute players that do not cane reeds to produce sound. The father of the clarinet is Johann Christoph Denner, who invented this instrument in Germany around year 1700. The family of clarinet contains different pitches clarinet, from which the most popular are B-flat clarinet, A clarinet, piccolo, basset horn, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet. The variety of instruments allow to use it in classical and contemporary music, klezmer, jazz, marching bands, woodwinds orchestra and more.

The flute is less demanding physically, lighter than clarinet, has less complicated fingerings, and it doesn’t have to rely on a reed to produce sound. While learning the flute may appear easier in the beginning, remember that flutists spend a lot of time every day to warm up their embouchure to create a beautiful, clear sound. If you start to play clarinet, it is useful to have a neck strap to help support and alleviate stress from your right hand. For younger players who just begin the clarinet, it is a common problem feel discomfort on the right thumb.
