Throat tones don't much involve variation in the human throat much more, if at all, than other clarinet notes. They're simply called throat tones as it relates to where--the "throat" of the clarinet--they original their sound from.
True or false.

True. Throat in this instance refers to the instrument, not the player.

Why do you ask? Did you read something that questions this?

They're called throat notes as they're at the top end of the clarinet where the bore lengths employed for these notes (throat G#, throat A and throat Bb) are the shortest. Some may also include open G as part of the throat note series.

I asked the question because as a young player decades ago I posed it to another more experienced player in the hopes that they could shed light on something I could do in my (human) throat that might improve my ![[Bb4]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/bb4.gif) .
He pointed to his throat saying it's in here. I suspected it inaccurate and was just reminded of this question from long ago the other day.

The throat is a fixed cartliage. As a gross genarlisation as you ascend each register the tongue goes progressively down and back. Well researched and known for a looooooong time. Peter clinch in about 1980 and pretty much the same research was repeated recently.
