Definitions
- a clarinet is formed of a tubular body, generally made of wood, in particular ebony, pierced with several radial orifices capable of being closed from the outside by valves called rounds, which are controlled by mechanisms associating a round with a spatula. Other holes, called right hand rings, as well as thumb bump, are intended to be closed by the fingers of the player.
- a torch making it possible to pass to the upper register.
- the torch consists of a nozzle, the side wall of which projects inside the central tube of the body. Its internal diameter is never more than 3 mm, while the orifices have, in general, diameters ranging from 4 mm to 13 mm approximately.
- the invention overcomes these drawbacks with a surprisingly simple solution, which makes it possible to adjust the low F, but which also applies to other orifices by improving the ease of issuing the note and eliminating the breath. , that is to say the wind due to a certain turbulence which one hears when the musician plays piano.
- the side wall defining the orifice, protrudes from the outer face of the body by 2 to 6 mm approximately.
- This simple elevation of the orifice makes it possible to make the clarinet fairer, in particular for the low F.
- This elevation is not intended to allow, as in the case of the rings and the hump of the thumb, to properly seal an orifice with the finger. Its purpose is to modify the volume of the air which vibrates, by increasing the volume of the chamber formed by the orifice.

Abstract
Description
Une clarinette est formée d'un corps tubulaire, en général en bois, notamment en ébène, percé de plusieurs orifices radiaux susceptibles d'être fermés de l'extérieur par des clapets dénommés ronds, qui sont commandés par des mécanismes associant un rond à une spatule. D'autres orifices, dénommés anneaux de main droite, ainsi que bosse de pouce, sont destinés à être obturés par les doigts de l'instrumentiste. Il y a, en outre, à proximité immédiate de l'extrémité supérieure du corps du haut, un chalumeau permettant de passer au registre supérieur. Le chalumeau est constitué d'un ajutage, dont la paroi latérale fait saillie à l'intérieur du tube central du corps. Son diamètre intérieur n'est jamais supérieur à 3 mm, alors que les orifices ont, en général, des diamètres allant de 4 mm à 13 mm environ.A clarinet is formed of a tubular body, generally made of wood, in particular ebony, pierced with several radial orifices capable of being closed from the outside by valves called rounds, which are controlled by mechanisms associating a round with a spatula. Other holes, called right hand rings, as well as thumb bump, are intended to be closed by the fingers of the player. There is, moreover, in the immediate vicinity of the upper end of the upper body, a torch making it possible to pass to the upper register. The torch consists of a nozzle, the side wall of which projects inside the central tube of the body. Its internal diameter is never more than 3 mm, while the orifices have, in general, diameters ranging from 4 mm to 13 mm approximately.
Au FR-85.09740, on rappelle que toutes les clarinettes, notamment celles en si bémol et en la, ont un fa grave trop bas. On propose d'y remédier par un mécanisme à clapet, venant obturer un orifice supplémentaire. La clarinette en est alourdie. Le mécanisme de commande de l'orifice supplémentaire s'étend sur une très grande longueur. Il est difficile à manoeuvrer.In FR-85.09740, we recall that all the clarinets, especially those in B flat and A, have a low bass F. It is proposed to remedy this by a valve mechanism, closing off an additional orifice. The clarinet is weighed down. The control mechanism for the additional orifice extends over a very long length. It is difficult to maneuver.
Au FR-630469, on renforce le bois d'une clarinette par un manchon métallique. Pour obturer correctement chaque orifice à l'aide de sa clé, on est contraint de créer un petit bord saillant, car on ne peut pas usiner un emplacement classique sur l'enveloppe en métal, qui est trop mince. Ce bord de très faible hauteur radiale, ne donne à la percée qu'un volume supplémentaire insignifiant.In FR-630469, the wood of a clarinet is reinforced with a metal sleeve. To properly seal each hole using its key, we are forced to create a small protruding edge, because we can not machine a conventional location on the metal envelope, which is too thin. This edge of very low radial height, gives the breakthrough only an insignificant additional volume.
L'invention pallie ces inconvénients par une solution étonnamment simple, qui permet d'ajuster le fa grave, mais qui s'applique, en outre, à d'autres orifices en améliorant la facilité d'émission de la note et en supprimant le souffle, c'est-à-dire le vent dû à une certaine turbulence que l'on entend quand le musicien joue piano.The invention overcomes these drawbacks with a surprisingly simple solution, which makes it possible to adjust the low F, but which also applies to other orifices by improving the ease of issuing the note and eliminating the breath. , that is to say the wind due to a certain turbulence which one hears when the musician plays piano.
Suivant l'invention, la paroi latérale, définissant l'orifice, dépasse de la face extérieure du corps de 2 à 6 mm environ.According to the invention, the side wall, defining the orifice, protrudes from the outer face of the body by 2 to 6 mm approximately.
Cette simple surélévation de l'orifice permet de rendre la clarinette plus juste, notamment pour le fa grave. Cette surélévation n'est pas destinée à permettre, comme dans le cas des anneaux et de la bosse de pouce, de bien obturer un orifice du doigt. Elle a pour but de modifier le volume de l'air qui vibre, en augmentant le volume de la chambre constituée par l'orifice. Pour le do/sol, le sol dièse/do dièse, le mi/si, le la bémol et le la, la surélévation facilite l'émission et supprime le souffle.This simple elevation of the orifice makes it possible to make the clarinet fairer, in particular for the low F. This elevation is not intended to allow, as in the case of the rings and the hump of the thumb, to properly seal an orifice with the finger. Its purpose is to modify the volume of the air which vibrates, by increasing the volume of the chamber formed by the orifice. For C / G, C sharp / C sharp, E / B, A flat and A, the elevation facilitates the emission and suppresses breath.
On obtient, en particulier, des résultats satisfaisants lorsque la paroi latérale définissant l'orifice se termine à affleurement avec la face intérieure du corps.In particular, satisfactory results are obtained when the side wall defining the orifice ends flush with the interior face of the body.
De préférence, l'orifice est ménagé dans une douille collée dans un perçage radial du corps. Dans la clarinette préférée, suivant l'invention, les surélévations concernent à la fois le fa/do, le do/sol, le sol#/do#, le mi/si, le la bémol et le la.Preferably, the orifice is formed in a socket glued in a radial bore of the body. In the preferred clarinet, according to the invention, the elevations relate to both the fa / do, the do / sol, the sol # / do #, the mi / si, the flat and the.

Le corps du bas 1, représenté à la figure 1, qui est une pièce tubulaire en ébène, est percé d'un certain nombre d'orifices parmi lesquels figurent l'orifice 2 du fa grave et l'orifice 3 du do/sol. L'orifice 2 a une paroi latérale 4 qui fait saillie à l'extérieur du corps du bas 1 sur une longueur de 5,5 mm. L'orifice 2 peut être fermé par un rond 5. Le rond 5 est rendu solidaire d'une tige 6 par une pointe 7. La tige 6 s'étend le long d'une génératrice du corps du bas. Elle est montée sur celui-ci entre deux vis à pointe 8, de manière à pouvoir tourner autour de son propre axe. Une spatule 9 de main droite est fixée à la tige 6. En actionnant la spatule 9, l'instrumentiste peut déplacer le rond 5. Il peut, d'une manière analogue, déplacer un rond qui s'applique sur la partie en saillie de l'orifice 3.The
