picture of a clarinet

"The clarinet also looks like a tube, but it is made from wood and the players holds it down and blows into the end of the instrument. Attached to the mouthpiece is a single wooden reed. When the player blows into the mouthpiece, the reed vibrates and creates a very mellow type of sound."

"Oh, but beware, if the player blows too hard, the clarinet can make an earpiercing squawk."

"How I HATE that sound", sighed the piano.
