I can see how these could be used constructively in a composition, especially if amplified - Zappa once got the didgeridoo player of the Ensemble Modern to play into a bucket of water but it sounded more like a bad case of the squits!
Im wondering if you could resonate the instrument completely submerged in water. Like going to a pool and trying to play underwater. I have an old fiberglass clarinet i could try it with, but im also thinking the air needed might surpass my lung capacity.
ok... this is going to sound crazy, but hear me out. You need a plastic clarinet with waterproof pads and glue and the ability to submerge much more of the clarinet into the water. I need to know what that will sound like even if it ends up being a complete failure.
Thank you, Heather! This answers my question I had when seeing your Bassclarinet Water in the Horn video.

That's brilliant - someone else was telling me about this just this weekend when I was talking about making this video :)
0:01 the clarinet literally said “water nrrg. HELP ME AHH WATerrrrrrrr….”

Yeah I wonder if the holes being everywhere might make this impossible - like might work better with something like a trombone or trumpet?
Explains why people think squidward sounds terrible
Maybe this is part of why whales sound the way they do.
Nature's clarinets

not crazy at all, I'd love to know too!
