This is a rather simple instrument similar to a clarinet.
It differs in some aspects quite much from the chalumeau, which is an early predecessor of the modern clarinet and has in fact a closer similarity to the clarinet.
The instrument has a tonal range of a ninth (c -d ).
It is possible to overblow the clarinettino into the second register, However this feature is not used because there is a tonal gap between the highest note of the first register (D6) and the lowest note of the second register (F6). |
