<><> Ragnhild asked:
Could someone please provide the names and notes for the different
registers on the clarinet? thanks!

I was taught that the names aren't absolutely rigid because of alternate
fingerings; but in general:

Chalumeau = lowest note through A (2nd space on staff)

Throat = open G through A (2nd space on staff)

[thus chalumeau and throat overlap a bit]

[what to do with Bb on the staff because of alternate fingerings and
because the 'lower' fingering uses the register key?]

Clarion = B-natural (3rd line on staff) up to and including C (two lines
above staff)

Altissimo = above clarion, except C# can be either clarion or altissimo
depending on the fingering.

....and you hear the words "alto" vs. "altissimo" in many conversations.

Cheers,
Bill
