each player is armed with a short

The Clarinet.

The clarinet has the richest, sweet
est voice Of all the wood wind instru-
ments, although it's sound does not
travel quite so Iar as that of the oboe.
Whenever, as sometimes happens,
there are two melodies to be played at
once, the clarinet takes the lower Of
the two, while the violins play the
upper and more important one. But
in a military band, where there are no
strings at all, the clarinets play the
chief melody. The bass clarinet is not
so smooth or so sweet as the higher
ones. 1t has a rather choky sound,
though softer than that Of the bas-
