Also if you overblow a note you can get higher, like the E, becomes an A, and i think an E ( on ledger lines) becomes a B, but i;m not exactly sure which becomes which but it happens, and usually people think they are squeaking

"And what do you mean by change it? You can't CHANGE the clarinet. I tried messing around and pulling the clarinet as far as possible where it bearly touches the cork, but that wasnt all that smart. It just got extremely sharp and it didnt turn to a different key how i was expecting it to. But i was just playing around."


pulling everything out should make you extremely flat, not sharp, as you're elongating the instrument which lowers the pitch.

woodwind instruments tend to be limited on their lower range (other than weird alterations like adding a toilet paper tube, but you can't do mcuh with that more than an extra note or two) by construction, but there isn't really any ceiling as to how high they can go.

Sorry bout that Leata. And you are right about that. And insturments ARE limited to how low they go. How high, i am positive is not limited.

<Added>

Wait...doesnt it get sharper? Its the same like making your jaw fall while playing, the pitch goes town. Its like a trumpet, if its flat push in, if its sharp push out, like a pencil. No...now im cofused. And also, I can't ask my band director, for one, hes a string player and has no clue about wind instruments, and two, schools over and some stupid kid forgot his instrument in his lock...i wonder who.

And, we can make the Bb clarinet go lower than an E? I don't get how to do that. I used to cover the bottom just for fun with my foot and the note did change but it didnt sound all that nice. So what IS the best way to make it lower? Because the way it was explained confused me.

Lol yeah, I had to think it out after I wrote that.

im not sure if this is true, but my band director said the clarinet can go much higher than any instrument other than flute.

Oh of course. it's starts sounding not so pretty if you're inexperienced tho.
I can do about three octaves of a C scale but I know people who can hit higher than that with ease.
