Clarinet FAQs


Why is a clarinet in B♭?


Due to its balanced sound and historical context, the B♭ clarinet has been the jazz and orchestral standard for over a century. And while it may be the standard, it’s far from the only option enjoyed by clarinetists today. The A clarinet adds a warm, woody timbre to chamber music and orchestral arrangements. The E♭ clarinet pierces through an ensemble with its perky tone and high register. The C clarinet is well-rounded and notable for its non-transposing nature, making it a great option for learners coming from a piano background. Explore our selection of clarinets and find the best fit for your musical journey.


How much does a clarinet cost?


Clarinets for sale can vary in price depending on your skill level, the maker, and the materials used to make the instrument. Clarinet options at Sweetwater range from around $500 for student models to over $40,000 for professional models. Use our shop filters to find the clarinet that best serves your goals and budget.
