Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Out of what material is the clarinet most commonly made?

Answer: wood

Some are also made out of plastic. I've seen one made out of metal though, it's really strange looking because it is so thin.

2. What is the highest sounding clarinet?

Answer: Sopranino Clarinet (yes it is supposed to be spelled like that)

The sopranino is really small. It is about a foot long (or shorter) and you need really small fingers to play it. I saw it at the Sousa Museum at the University of Illinois. After the sopranino is the Bb, then the A, and then the alto (there is an alto clarinet).

3. Is the French horn related to the clarinet in ANY way?

Answer: Yes

Yes in fact it is. One reason is because they are both aerophones (air is used to produce sound) or wind instruments.

4. Which of the following is NOT a maker of clarinets?

Answer: Bach

Bach is a trumpet maker. Jupiter makes saxophones primarily but they do make clarinets, too.

5. True or false: the violin is VERY closely related to the clarinet?

Answer: False

The violin and clarinet have no relation, The only way that they can be related is because they both are instruments and play in orchestras.
