The clarinet is a type of wind instrument made of hard and durable woods, usually ebony. There are also types made of ebonite, a type of hard rubber, and also metal. The clarinet is very close to the flute in terms of agility. All kinds of fast, bright, flashy passages, scales, arpeggios, grupetto and similar figures, trills and tremolos can be played easily. The body of the clarinet is cylindrical. The bell section is wider than the bell of the oboe.

This carefully carved and shaped piece of reed is placed on the mouthpiece. The reed, which is made to vibrate by the player's breath, vibrates the air in the pipe and produces sound. The player's left hand is held upwards and the right hand downwards, slightly inclined towards the ground.

The last innovator in the history of the clarinet was Hyacinthe Klose. In 1839, she invented the Boehm system. This system is the most advanced of the known systems. This system, developed by Theobald Boehm for the flute, was applied to the clarinet by taking it as an example, and the system began to be called by this name after Theobald Boehm. Boehm also invented a series of ring-shaped frets, discovering new frets that would allow the frets at different distances to be opened and closed.
