Chalumeau is the lower register up to middle-line Bb. Or some people say that the chalumeau is only really up to F and the next few "throat tones" aren't proper chalumeau. The word chalumeau originally referred to a folk instrument, and you may still see it used in that sense as well.

Clarion is the upper register up to C two lines above the stave.

Altissimo is the ear-shattering squeaks (when I'm playing) above that.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

Rev- As in the thread [above] Research Books, I suggest you obtain a paperback copy of a book by Pino, Lawson, Brymer or others [usually with clarinet in the title] for info and reference. These and others are available on-line from B&N, Amazon others?, inexpensively. Regards, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
