Is there a difference in sound in a wood clarinet versus plastic or resin?

Yes, this is a major part of choosing a clarinet as the tone changes completely depending on the material you have. Wood clarinets have a much woodsier, deep, and rich sound compared to plastic or resin. Wood clarinets also offer more control overall since they are heavier, which causes them to have an easier grip.

Essentials to look for in a clarinet

A clarinet is designed for extended use, so before making your decision, there are two things you need to consider.

  • Skill level: Beginners at the clarinet are often used to playing with plastic, which requires a different use of facial muscles than a wooden model. Since advanced players are more experienced, they are aware of this change.
  • Tone: Some clarinets offer deep and rich sounds, which are generally more used by advanced level players. However, there are some that offer airier or lighter sounds, depending on which youd prefer.
What is the difference between African blackwood and Grenadilla wood?

African blackwood and MPingo wood are both different types of Grenadilla wood and can be used interchangeably. Grenadilla wood, which originates from Tanzania and Mozambique, is known for its quality and stability and is used for high-quality musical instruments.

Bore styles and Ligatures

The dimensions of the inside of a clarinet are called bore. The smaller the bore, the easier it is for a beginner to play in tune. Lager bores are used for more complex sounds and the bending of certain notes and are generally used by more advanced players. A ligature, which holds the reed onto the mouthpiece of a buffet Eb clarinet, controls how much the reed vibrates.
