Clarinetist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A clarinetist (sometimes also spelled clarinettist) is a musician who plays the clarinet. Some clarinetists also play other woodwind instruments, particularly commonly the saxophone, and may therefore also be saxophonists and multireedists.
Here is a list of famous clarinetists, grouped according to the musical idiom with which they are particularly associated.
