Question

A clarinet is a _______________ type of musical instrument.(stringed/reed)

Answer 1

1. Wind instruments make use of the length of the air column to produce sound. These are also called reed-type instruments.
2. By increasing or decreasing the length of the air column, which is done by opening or closing the holes cut into them, vibrations of different frequencies are set up, which produces sweet music.
3. Here, frequency increases with the decrease in the length of the air column.

Hence, a clarinet is a reed type of musical instrument.
