 RE: Clarinet vs. oboe vs flute

True on what David said but also because flutes and oboes react accoustically as open pipes while clarinets react accoustically as closed pipes. This is why the flute and oboe overblow at the octave and the clarinet overblows at the twelfth.
The closed-end cylindrical bore of the clarinet is what causes it to act as a closed pipe and that is why the clarinet can produce the same pitch as the flute or oboe with only half the length of pipe.
Happy Clarineting!
