The Chalumeau is the predecessor to the modern-day clarinet. It\u2019s sound is softer and and opener as the clarinets sound, almost like a Duduk from Armenia. It is a lot easier to play than the Duduk thanks to it\u2019s modern adaption that uses the same mouthpiece as the clarinet. <\/p>\n

This version of the Chalumeau has nine tone holes instead of the eight on the historic instrument and plays in the second register when you open the thump hole a tiny bit. It plays about 2 1\/2 octaves depending on the abilities of the player. <\/p>\n

Made of olive wood it has a clear and overtone rich sound. Occasionally I make it from other species as elder, maple, plum or boxwood. <\/p>\n

It is available in the tonality G.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
