Clarinet
The clarinet, with its hauntingly beautiful tone, is one of the principal instruments in the band.
The clarinet's sound is produced as the stream of air hits the tip of the wooden reed on the mouthpiece, causing it to vibrate. As the clarinetist presses the various keys the distance the air must travel before escaping is altered, making the different notes. As the distance increases, the tone gets lower.
Both boys and girls play the clarinet.
It's not really difficult.
Like all the instruments it just takes a little practice to learn to play.
