Shaku-clarinet!

If you want to convert your clarinet into a shakuhachi, you'd be best making a shakuhachi-style mouthpiece that fits into the barrel to make the instrument the correct length so the scale is true. Turn up a plastic or grenadilla cylinder the same length and bore as a mouthpiece and file an angle to make the sharp edge which you direct the airstream against. It works on the same principle as a recorder but without the fipple (which is replaced with your lower lip) and windway (which is now the aperture between your lips).
