DescriptionThis warm, buff-brown wooden clarinet features brass decals. It includes five small cream-colored bone portions from the end to the front of the clarinet. The mouthpiece is black, and the instrument's ending is flared. Gaining notoriety beginning in the seventeenth century, the clarinet was initially created as a more complex version of the prior chalumeau instrument.On View
