I have been lurking the Klarinet net for several months and have
learned the meaning of many words that never came up in many years
of amateur concert band playing, Now that it was establishd a while
back that there is no such thing as a dumb question I am encouraged
to ask a few questions. I was able, of course, to answer many myself
but I still have a few mysteries. Perhaps someone would be willing
to take a few minutes to explain:
Vent tube
Register tube
Speaker key
Sliver key
Throat
What does a double Octive Key look like?
Can I asume that the altisimo notes are those above high C?
These questions arise from messages on the net.
