But in the grand scheme of things, you're saying that the clarinet
is categorized as a cylindrical bore instrument? I always thought
it was conical, simply by intuition. 'Starts out narrow at one end
and gets wider as you go down. This isn't the most exciting of sub-
jects (it's boring, yes), but I'd be interested to know the common
cone-ceptions on the subject (and hopefully spawn a few more really
bad clarinet jokes in the process).
