I LOVE the idea of 3d printed instruments so much! One big thing you can do is flip the parity and play with your left hand at the bottom, which a lot of people would find much more comfortable.
Since I was a kid, I've had the "talent" for taking things apart and not getting them back together. Now that you've explained how this is built, I can only marvel at your ability and ingenuity. I changed a pad on my clarinet back in the day, and that didn't go well. I acquired an old Albert system Buffet instrument from a friend of my father's, and bought a pad set for it, but basically didn't know what I was doing. However, I was thinking, I successfully unbent a Haynes flute after my mother sat on it, so maybe I have a certain ability when fueled by adrenaline. I was right there when it happened. I watched her do it. She laughed and my blood ran cold. It belonged to the college I was attending and I'd left it on the couch, while home practicing during a holiday. It had a pronounced bend right above the triller keywork closest to the headjoint. I just bent it back over my knee. Worked fine. The smallest clarinet I've played is Eb, and for me, except for its piercing tone while in band, I couldn't really practice it -- same with piccolo (flute) -- because I don't like the lack of depth in the tone, which I think is the most beautiful part of the range of the standard clarinet. Congratulations on coming very, very close to saying Boehm (or Böhm) correctly. I had to take a point off because it sounded like you inserted a slight "r" sound before the "m" and that's easy to do. I was just practicing it myself and I do that, too, even though pronunciation is probably the only good thing about my German, and I went to school there, well, Vienna anyway. Hearing someone say it like you do is about as rare as hearing an English speaker pronounce Bösendorfer correctly. Now tell me you're fluent in German. Of course, I suppose there are anglicized pronunciations. An American flute teacher once explained that Boehm is prounounced Baym, but that was just in his world.
This is so cool!!!! and here I am waiting for you to build the BBBb octocontrabass and you go in the very opposite direction. I always thought that the way to go in the smallest size was either to use minimal keys as you did, or the very opposite use extensive reducing keys that would allow to have fingers well spaced but floating above the tube.

Hey Jared, I know you from your instagram account, didn't know that you had youtube, just subscribed! I wanted to say; the work you are doing in this category of 3d printed instruments is fantastic! You see it as a way of accessibility for odd sized clarinets, but you may actually be the very beginning of hugely expanding accessibility of music programs for the youth, with various 3d printed designs either by you or people inspired by you. Cheers to the future!
The 40 year old me is interested in all the work that goes into making this, and respectfully listens when he explains intonation changes as the clarinet goes down in size. The sassy 16 year old 1st seat clarinet band geek in me stubbornly says if a flute can do it, then so can I lol! After all, I didn't let the trumpets play louder than me. I may have utterly destroyed a reed or two in building up my chops, but my clarinet told me it shall be heard.
Very cool. I thought it was a gun in the thumbnail too! I have been using Syos mouthpieces lately. Love the fact that they use o-rings on their clarinet mouthpieces. I wonder how that would work on all the tenons. Seems like a much better alternative to cork. Maybe 2 grooves on each tenon to seat the o-rings. I still use cork grease on my mouthpieces, but wonder if something would work better, or be better suited to o-rings to prevent degradation.
Congratulations on the project -- as soon as there is a lull in the dissertation work, I'm definitely going to be picking those .stl files up from you :) Forgive me if this question has been asked elsewhere -- but are you planning on adapting your models to the key of Ab as well since it's, if still quite uncommon, an instrument that's had some music written for it? I've been designing/printing various clarinet parts for a little while now so I'm thrilled that there's more work going on in the field :))
Hi Jared, I’m a big fan of the Chanel. I’ve been looking to 3D print an Ab clarinet but can’t find measurements anywhere. I was wondering if you knew of any resources that can help me? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Good question. The mouthpiece is designed based off of my Orsi Ab piccolo clarinet mouthpiece and can be used on my Orsi. However I don’t believe there is a standard size for Ab mouthpieces as the ones I’ve seen have all had different socket sizes.
a few years ago I made a 3d printed bansuri flute and enjoyed the process. But now I just make wood flutes because the sound quality is so much nicer with wood!
@@RichardHolmesSyr I don't believe it exists anymore. Dr. Marcus was the last known person to have one. It basically had a large bell extension with key articulations that allowed it to extend downward an octave. I'm writing a book on the octavin.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a gun at first
SAME I THOUGHT IT WAS AN MG42 LOL
@@nubfried same lol
No it looked like a gun from star wars
@@nubfried Looks more like the 34 to me
Yeah lmfao. Perfect colour and texture
Amazing work! I’ve been considering making a flute in G that can be 3d printed, but the design of the keywork was something I didn’t know how to do.

A 3d printed D clarinet would be pretty cool

For a second I thought the thumbnail picture was a Piccolo Clarinet plus black powdered Muzzleloader gun. I could get down with that.
So cool!! Would love this in G as well!
So amazing! I hope for a basset/basset extension 3d print model! 🥺
I really hope you will make a B Flat version soon. I want to walk into band with one someday as a joke.
Jared, this is really interesting. I will purchase the file as soon as I have time again to play the clarinet!
Da professore di clarinetto mi complimento 👏👏👏.
You are honestly so cool and inspiring -- keep doing what you're doing brotha.
You could make a 3d printed baroque oboe.
Very impressive! Thank you Jared. looking forward to a basset clarinet in A file :-). It will be fantastic to have access to an affordable DIY option!

This is very intuitive! I wonder if I could make the model bigger in some sort of software, lowering it to an Ab piccolo clarinet. Just an idea :)
Ok, I want to see you make a soprillo sax!

OI BRUV I WUNDT THA! and I think it would sound nice in a really lively new orleans type jazz band
amazing work. very impressive.
Well done! Your passion and skill are inspiring.
Amazing, it sounds great. 🙂🎶👍
i would buy if it was in Ab because nobody is gonna write for a clarinet in A sadly
Shit looked like a weapon's barrel in the thumbnail
Not gonna lie, i thought that was an MG-42 on the thumbnail
the song sounded so much better in 2x speed lmao
I'd like to hear you play a piece on it🎵🎵🎵

Other than measuring an existing instrument, maybe check out Bernade's book on acoustics.
@@Jared_De_Leon thank you!
@@Jared_De_Leon how do you find Bernade's book on acoustics?
@@thamungdheiki1176 you can get it on Amazon or eBay.
Very cool! Do you have any videos of you building it? (Or of the bass oboe you have on your site)
I'll try and put one together.
Hi Jared!
Is the mouthpiece 3D printed as well? Does the barrel accept standard Ab clarinet mouthpieces?
Good question. The mouthpiece is designed based off of my Orsi Ab piccolo clarinet mouthpiece and can be used on my Orsi. However I don’t believe there is a standard size for Ab mouthpieces as the ones I’ve seen have all had different socket sizes.

I'd like you to 3D print an octavin. They haven't been made in 100 years.
If I could find dimensions I definitely would.
Maybe you could make a bass octavin. Such an instrument apparently was mentioned by one writer but is not known to have actually existed. YET.

That's an assault piccolo. Is it an AR 440?
Novo reeds work?
