Ok, I am working on a research project for my acoustics class and need to find the following information out for my class:
1. What is the overtone range of the Clarinet and where can I find a diagram (have to find a diagram)?
2. Where are the "timberal breaks"?
3. What are the acoustic properties?
4. What parts of the Clarinet do all of these come out (bell, middle joint, etc.)
Can anyone direct me to the right location or help with this? Thanks!

<http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=345165&t=345154>
has some spectrographs showing the harmonic structure of a clarinet's sound.
Basically, the clarinet produces dominant odd harmonics at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 times the fundamental. Register changes move the fundamental up to the next harmonic. A low Bb3 + register key triples the pitch of the fundamental, raising the note to F5. Lifting the first left hand finger quintuples the pitch of the fundamental, creating D6.
I have no idea what Timberal Breaks might be.
Acoustic properties would probably be a way to refer to all the elements that make up the sound of the instrument and explain what causes them.
A nearby thread discuses where the vibrating air column reaches the atmosphere outside of the instrument to "make noise."

I guess 'timberal breaks' are where the tone (timbre) changes.
