Human: What is the difference between a flute and a clarinet? Assistant: 
The main difference between a flute and a clarinet is the way the sound is produced. A flute produces its sound by the player causing air to flow across an open hole, while a clarinet produces sound by the player blowing air through a reed. Additionally, a flute typically has a more airy and bright sound, while a clarinet typically has a more mellow and focused sound.
