The modern Clarinet developed from a Baroque instrument called the chalumeau. This instrument was similar to a recorder, but with a single-reed mouthpiece and a cylindrical bore. Lacking a register key, it was played mainly in its fundamental register, with a limited range of about one and a half octaves. It had eight finger holes, like a recorder, and two keys for its two highest notes. At this time, contrary to modern practice, the reed was placed in contact with the upper lip.
Around the turn of the 18th century, the chalumeau was modified by converting one of its keys into a register key to produce the first clarinet.
Instruments similar to clarinets were being used in Egypt as early as 3000 BC. The modern clarinet apparently began around 1690 and it is believed to have been made by Johann Cristoph Denner.
Johann Christoph Denner invented the clarinet in 1690. He was born in Leipzig in 1655, Germany, and died in 1707 at the age of 52.
It was invented in medieval times before the Clarinet and also the Saxophone
Heinrich Grenser but also adolphe sax patented a bass clarinet in 1834 when he was 24 years old
Nobody knows who first introduced the clarinet (which originated as the chalumeau), but the clarinet that is played today was introduced by Johann Christoph Denner. if you have any more clarinet questions, email me at: claireAnet@aol.com.
