In a clarinet, the reed end of the instrument acts as a node and the first open hole acts as an antinode. because the shape of the clarinet is nearly cylindrical, its harmonic series approximately follows that of a pipe closed at one end. What harmonic series is predominant in a clarinet?



Answer :

The first and third, because it only produces odd partials.

The first and the third harmonics are predominant because they produce  odd partials.

We know that the clarinet is a wind instrument. Wind instruments are those instruments that produce sound when a column of air is vibrated inside the instrument.

The clarinet closely follows the harmonics of a pipe that is open at one end. Hence, the first and the third harmonics are predominant because they produce  odd partials.
