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.
I truly think the wooden reed is an awesome idea.
Wooden reed care
Due to their natural composition, cane musical reeds may hold bacteria or mold, which can affect one's health and the quality of sound produced. Some of the basic instruments that use reeds include the clarinet, saxophone, oboe and bassoon. Proper care of reeds will extend their longevity and control bacterial growth.

Reed care Reed preparation.
Wooden reeds must be moistened prior to playing. Many musicians place the reed in their mouths to moisten them with saliva. In preparing the reed
was first musically inspired by clarinetist Benny Goodman at age six or seven, and was also inspired by Charlie Parker. "One of the first records that I really liked was "Charlie Parker with Strings", the way he soared over the orchestra..." Ranier took up piano at age ten, studying the classical repertoire, and added clarinet at 12. He has said he did not pursue a concert piano career because, "After hearing Benny, I always wanted to play jazz."
