Summary: This “little trumpet,” hailing from the woodwind family, has drawn many supporters over the years, such as Sidney Bechet, Artie Shaw, Pete Fountain, Benny Goodman, and yes, even the famous writer/filmmaker Woody Allen. We're talking about the clarinet, a single reed instrument with a large selection of varying pitches and a multi-faceted history of tones and forms.
