" Hi! For expertvillage.com this is Mitch Kaplan. In this clip we will be talking about sound. The range of the clarinet is from low E below the staff to the high C, it sounds like this… Some people can go higher, and some people can even extend, some people have a lower fingering to make it sound a little lower, but here is a higher note, here is high E, here is F, etc., I would not hurt you with the rest. The different sounds can happen by making a clarinet sound go from soft to loud. This is a soft version… and now a louder one… and now we are going to talk about some styles that you can play with the clarinet. The first style that I would like to present is our little jazz, this is Dixieland, you may have heard it in the first clip… The next style that I would like to play is a little classical. Now for different styles you have to have a different sound, so a little more methodical would be how you would approach a classical piece… The third style would be the marching band style, this is a kind of like a cross between the Dixieland and the classical… and there you have it.

on 9/23/2009 Hi,
I am a newb on clarinet and plan to buy my first one, am a bit lost in the "jungle". But I know what sound I like! I want the sound to be dark and "mystical" but I would also like to play "blue" sounds of New Orleans style jazz, I don't know if it is quarter tones.
Does the sound differ between an Alberts system clarinet, Boehm system clarinet and Oehler system clarinet? Which one has a darker and deeper sound to it?
Or is the sound only dependent on what clarinet it is, say A-clarinet or Bb-clarinet?
I have watched Sandor Benko (on youtube) play "Petite Fleur" and it sounds much different from Gianni Sanjust (on youtube) who plays the exact same part, but his clarinet sounds much lighter and not as "deep" as Sandor Benkos. What is the difference? What clarinet is Sandor Benko using?
Can you please help? What clarinet should I buy for the sounds I like to learn and play?
Th...
