MY Clarinet

Hello , i'm a new blogger so you'll understand if it's not interesting right?
Anyway, firstly i want to introduce myself...
I'm Jordan Kho..
Easy

Now... To what i wana blog about..

My clarinet....


If you guys don't know what a clarinet is.. This is how it looks like...>>>>






Let's go through the parts quickly...


Firstly there's the mouthpiece... Where you blow air into.. You'll need a REED becuz the hole is too big..Anyway, this is the mouthpiece..






Next there's the barrel....




This is where a lot of saliva accumulates, and i mean A LOT...
So when you disassemble a clarinet, i think this is the best place to start cleaning...


Anyway, then you'll have the upper joint..






Behind the upper joint you'll have only 1 key to press... That key is called the register key, and pressing it moves you up to a higher octave..



After this there's the lower joint ( i'm getting tired already...)


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>








Then the bell...


Well, that's the introduction for the clarinet... i'll tell you more in my next post..
