The Clarinet is a woodwind
instrument and is featured in a variety of musical
styles such as classical, concert bands, Dixieland and
Jazz.
In the clarinet family there are different models such
as the contra-alto and bass clarinets, but the most
common is the Bb (B-flat) clarinet.
This is the instrument usually played by beginner
clarinetists performing in marching bands and stage
bands.
For the purpose of our Buyers Guide, this is the
clarinet we'll be concentrating on.
