The Traditional Clarinet

The Clarinet is one of the main instruments of a Greek traditional orchestra.

The instrument used by the popular organ player is the clarinet in the Müller system and not in the Boeh system.

This helps the musician to play the intervals of Greek music and at the same time to pass on this complex technique of older folk winds.

It appears in Greece in the middle of the 19th century in Epirus and Western Macedonia. Its art is spread by Turkish or gypsy clarineto players.

Slowly he replaced zourna and the shepherd's pipe spread throughout Greece. Our people loved it and let their soul be heard as a breath in the black ebony.
