Clarinet
Theofilos
Classification: Aerophone - wind instrument
Description:
The clarinet is used widely in the music of the Balkans. It is worth noting that you can find a greater use of Albert-sytem clarinets as opposed to the Boehm system more favored in the West. Also, you may come across the use of instruments in less popular keys, such as in the key of C, which is used often in older Greek styles, as well as the lower G clarinet favored by many Turkish and Turkish-influenced players.
