The funniest thing is, though, the trumpet player seemed to make the trumpet seem like the most amazing instrument ever, while the clarinet player is just, "It's a cylindrical wooden tube with holes."

This dude needs to be a voice actor. His voice and accent makes me want to play the clarinet again

[IceOfPhoenix]

This guy defies all clarinet laws: trilling A to B, super fast staccato and even playing extremely high extremely quietly. Ling Ling has competition

I've been playing clarinet for 8 years, yet this video is very satisfying for some reason. It gives me chills. Idk why😂😂😂 Anyone else not a beginning player and watching this???

[TheBischr]

I don't play any instruments and came to this video randomly but watched the whole thing because that chap is so interesting to listen to

I’m in my last year of junior high, and I play the clarinet. Lemme tell you, this is easy. It is hard to get tone right and to find the right reed and perfecting your embouchure. This is the video that I watched my first year of junior high that made me fall in love with this instrument.

[mimimosa]

It sounds like finding the right reed is like finding the right wand in Harry Potter

It drives me super mad when people come up to me, while I'm holding / playing my clarinet and they ask "do you play flute?"
No. I don't. This is a clarinet. The instrument next to me is a flute. THEY LOOK

Why do I feel like watching Arthur Weasley explaining his clarinet?

[KegPatcha]

His voice makes this explanation way more interesting than it is.
Fascinating!

I've played clarinet for over 10 years. Middle school through high school. Concert and marching band in high school. Wanted to continue in college but my chosen major demanded so much time I felt I couldn't give the time properly needed to devote to music as well as keep up with my studies properly. Heart breaking choice. Went to every concert in college that I could and to home football games to watch the marching band. Fun and depressing at the same time.

I still play in my spare time and enjoy it a lot.

You guys are legends. This helped me so much for my exams

[crystalsonnier]

I love the clarinet I've been playing for a year and it is a wonderful instrument

[Argletrough]

I've been playing the clarinet for 6 years and I never knew that clarinettists could need to change clarinets mid-concert.
Interesting video...

[Hannah-tghw]

What a great idea to play all these instruments and put them here. I had no clue the sounds these things made.

[nicolashorne]

I've been playing Bb clarinet for near five years and still find this video very interesting and helpful!

[moferdman]

Who knew I'd be learning about both fingering and tonguing in a video about the clarinet? How exciting!

[TheDanD]

This man has offended my pride as a flautist, now a duel is due.

Just kidding, we flautists are too scared to fight.

[mason]

I don't know why but this guy comes off as a very interesting person. I could picture him in a movie.

[chloegrace]

I just started playing clarinet today I hope I'm this good someday!!
