Hi Vinicius, if you have a clarinet with keywork down to low C, spectral multiphonics can be performed on any of these low pitches. In fact, they work extremely well as there are a greater number of overtones/harmonics available. All you have to do is use the fingering for low Eb, D, Db or C and apply the changes of tongue position and embouchure as detailed in the video. By adjusting these once you’ve managed to sound a spectral multiphonic you’ll find that you can make the harmonics go up and down. Spectral multiphonics on low clarinets is a complex topic so perhaps I'll get around to making a video on it soon.
If you only have keywork to low E-flat, then you won't be able to play lower than that. Spectral multiphonics won't help you to play lower notes than your instrument can produce. Some multiphonics produce low difference tones but these are an acoustic phenomenon and can't be isolated to sound alone.
@@RichardElliotHaynes.clarinet but what about the other multiphonics? I kept trying to drop a note below E flat, through fingerings on the bassoon that generate a note below the low Bb, and I managed to release a very low sound, for a few seconds, that I could not identify. I've been researching this for a long time in several languages with Google translator, including English (I'm Brazilian), but I only found it for the bassoon. 😕
What do you mean by "drop a note below E-flat"? Are you playing a low E-flat and using your embouchure to make it lower? I think you'll find that the bassoon works in a very different way to the clarinet, because it has a conical bore, and the clarinet has a cylindrical bore. My experience with multiphonics on bassoon is that they work very differently.

Very well explained, spot on and dense in information. Thank you!
Thank you very much Henri.
Super clear and helpful, thank you!
Thank you very much, Saad.
😮
Beautiful.Thank a lot.
The sound you get with just the mouthpiece is better than what I get on the entire instrument😵 very interesting video!
Thanks very much! Practicing on just the mouthpiece, or mouthpiece plus barrel can be a rewarding tone exercise, or just a useful warmup.
bravo
I wanted to know about multiphonics for low notes, multiphonics to reach notes below E flat / low C

@@RichardElliotHaynes.clarinet I don't know if it will work, because my bass clarinet has an E flat extension.
