I had a friend who was a clarinetist, she played a clarinet in a orchestra.  Do you play or have friends that do?
I have one friend that plays the clarinet its a beautiful instrument with its single reed. 
It is, I am a bit into jazz and Ben Goodman was a clarinetist as well.  He was called the "King of Swing" back in the 30s.
Thats an awesome title do you happen to know how many finger holes it has?
I actually don't know.  I know it has wooden reed in for the mouthpiece and it has kind of bell shape at the end.
