TIPCODES CLARINET

Tipcode:

CLR-001

The first Tipcode in this book demonstrates some of the notes that you can play with your right hand and your left hand respectively.

CLR-002

Using the register key, the clarinet produces a note that sounds a twelfth higher. Here are some examples.

CLR-003

This Tipcode demonstrates the three main registers or modes of the clarinet, from low to high.

CLR-004

The ranges of the bass, alto, B and E clarinet can be heard in this Tipcode.

CLR-005

This Tipcode plays the reference pitch A=440, allowing you to tune your clarinet to this note.

CLR-006

The difference between A=440 and A=442 may not be that obvious at first. Playing the two pitches simultaneously clearly produces two ‘beats’ per second, caused by the 2Hz pitch difference.

CLR-007

Here are the clarinet’s problem notes, G4 to Bflat 4.

CLR-008

The levers and keys of your instrument should be — carefully — checked for play, from time to time. A brief demonstration is shown in this Tipcode.

CLR-009

German clarinetists often use a cord rather than a ligature. Here’s how they do it.

CLR-010

This Tipcode demonstrates two ways to adjust a reed’s facing.

CLR-011

A reed cutter is used to remedy a soft reed.

CLR-012

This Tipcode shows you how to use Dutch rush.

CLR-013

This Tipcode shows you a basic way to assemble your instrument.

CLR-014

When assembling your instrument, the bridge should be open. Here’s how you do that.

CLR-015

Tipcode CLR-015 shows you how to put a reed on your mouthpiece in four easy steps.

CLR-016

Tipcode CLR-005, again, plays the reference pitch A=440. The use of a tuning fork is demonstrated in Tipcode CLR-016. This particular fork also sounds A=440.

CLR-017

A swab can be used from the bell up, or the other way around, or both up and down.

CLR-018

Tipcode CLR-018 shows you how to use a piece of cleaning paper to treat your pads.

CLR-019

In this Tipcode you will hear a alto saxophone, an oboe, a flute, and a bassoon respectively.

CLR-020

This Tipcode is a visit to a reed company, showing you how reeds are made from start to finish.
