Parts of a Clarinet and the Mouthpiece

This week I will be talking about parts of a clarinet. There are five parts to the clarinet: the mouth piece,the barrel, the upper or first joint, the lower or second joint and the bell. The joints are where all the keys are. The mouth piece is also made up of specific parts: the mouth piece ( of cause), the ligature (this holds the reed in place and the mouthpiece cap (which protects the reed from being damaged when not in use). When you are done with the instrument, you put it in a case. Here are some pictures for you guys:
