The word "clarino" in Italian means trumpet, referring to the technique used on the baroque trumpet producing notes only using overblown harmonics for playing melodies.
The word “clarinetto“ is the diminutive form of “clarino”, a small trumpet, referring to the first two-keyed clarinet that could overblow, unlike the earlier chalumeau, from greek: kalamos meaning “reed”, that could not overblow.
