Description

ABSTRACT:
A simple form of woodwind instrument of the clarinet-type and flute-type is shown. Each instrument utilizes the same body made of PCV pipe and different sound generators of clarinet-type mouth pieces or flute-type head joints designed to fit the body. The instrument is intended for beginners in a general music classroom setting grades 1 through 6, possibly complementing the "Orff instrumentarium" of percussion instruments. The simplified instrument may be used along to provide "hands-on" introduction to the legitimate woodwind instruments (clarinets and flutes) in a step-by-step preparation for playing these instruments.
