Clarinet Waveform Clarinet tone by Jennifer Hammond, 4/28/98 Because the clarinet acts like a closed tube resonator, it theoretically produces only odd harmonics. Note that there is some even harmonic content, but it is much diminished. Clarinet discussion	Index Woodwind instruments Musical instruments

Clarinet Waveform Clarinet tone by Jennifer Hammond, 4/28/98 This higher note of the clarinet has much less upper harmonic content than notes in the lower range of the instrument. It also departs from the rule of odd harmonics only. This implies that the column no longer acoustically approximates a closed cylinder.
