FAQ
Written vs concert pitch on B♭ clarinet?
Clarinets in B♭ are transposing instruments: a written C sounds as concert B♭ (down a whole step). This tool shows written note names and uses written-pitch audio files.
Do scales start on the root?
Yes. Pick a key and the scale starts on that tonic (root) and spans two octaves when selected, within the clarinet’s practical written range.
Do you pitch-shift the samples?
No. Every note uses its own file from /sounds_clarinet (e.g., Gsharp4.wav or G#4.wav). This preserves tone quality.
My note doesn’t play—what should I check?
The matching filename might be missing. Filenames must exactly match the pill’s note (case matters on some hosts). The tool tries both symbol and word spellings.
Which filenames are accepted—sharps or words?
Either works. The player looks for symbols (G#4.wav, Db4.wav) and words (Gsharp4.wav, Dflat4.wav).
What range does this use?
Written range is clamped to about E3–C7. Your instrument and files may vary (altissimo depends on skill and whether those files exist).
Can it go up then down once?
Yes. Choose Play Mode → “Asc→Desc (once)” for a single cycle or “Asc (loop)” to loop ascending.
Why do G♯ and A♭ change?
Spelling adapts to the selected key to keep notation musical. You can force sharps or flats with the “Show Note Names” control.
