Before playing the clarineau, I was playing an instrument from the same family, the primitive chalumeau equivalent from Lithuania : byrbyné.
With the comparison of the two,
_ I can notice that Kunath Clarineau has an excellently clear sound with perfect right tones.
_The instrument is really well built.
_If you are looking to play easily based on your feeling I will recommend the Clarineau with no keys. Apart the basic sound with the reed, it's not hard to play.
I tried the Clarineau with three keys and I had an ease when playing the notes without the keys. When playing combinations with the keys I thought it was really hard and technical. Maybe those who can play clarinet or saxophone will find it simple.
Finally I decided to buy a Clarineau with no keys.
