 Re: Clarinet in C

A good C clarinet should play and sound like a small Bb clarinet, not like an instrument which is totally foreign to the clarinet family.

As implied in the above postings, C clarinets can often be markedly improved with a careful choice of mouthpiece and/or barrel. Although I use a specific C clarinet mouthpiece, a Bb mouthpiece is most commonly used.

And yes....playing the C clarinet does require "time behind the horn", especially in orchestra work where it is not as frequently used as (for example) the A or Eb clarinet...GBK
