@trainguy111 The whole thing could be transferred to other members of the clarinet family, or even the saxophone family. You'd just need to reposition the solenoids, adjust the tongue position and update some lookup tables!
that's amazing! the only thing that would make this suck is that you might have brought a whole new idea to the music industry and completely get rid of people playing the instruments... nah, that would never happen :)
That's the problem with robot players: Each register requires different air pressure, so it's really difficult to make a machine that replicates pressure changes.
@xHuntedGunzPCGx Adjusting the pressure inside the mouthpiece enclosure is tough because you've got a reed controlling the air flow. Each note has a different resistance to air flow. Also too much pressure and the reed will close completely, not enough and it won't vibrate.
Great job but mythbusters could probably make a clarinet that plays itself that floats breathes fire and is powered by mutated monkeys.

So, can the mechanism for the mouthpiece be used on other members of the clarinet family?

@1CJJ1 Good. Cause I plan to build a robot band called Roband and it will include 2 clarinets: the common B flat Soprano and the rare A flat piccolo.

@pokemonrulz10 I think what you're seeing is blinking LEDs on the USB to MIDI cable as it sends data

@perfectsen10rs2010 Thanks mate! I don't think so either!

In my opnion, the air pressure should be increased on high notes!

@1CJJ1 I know that...a machine can surely be built with that in mind...
