Denner was born in Leipzig . The clarinet evolved from an earlier instrument called the Chalumeau . With the help of his son Jacob Denner , JC Denner improved the chalumeau, creating a new instrument called the clarinet. Denner altered the position of one of the two keys of the chalumeau, thus increasing the range by over two octaves. He also created a better mouthpiece and enlargeded the bell of the instrument for better projection and resonance. He died at Nuremberg . |
