→Parts of the Clarinet
The body of the clarinet is constructed from wood, traditionally grendilla wood from [[Africa]], [[Asia]] or [[South America]], or from modern resins. This wood is very hard and holds a high polish well. However, some cheap clarinets are made out of plastic, particularly those used by students learning to play in school. These students are generally encouraged to "move on" to a wooden clarinet once it becomes clear that they are serious about the instrument.
