a flute is cylindrical and when you hit the 2nd register (higher notes) the fingering is pretty much the same as on the base register. in other words, the jump is a regular octave.
a clarinet is conical and the jump to the 2nd register is a 12 note jump from what i understand.
can anyone explain why this is so?
thanks!
