clarinet player
Reed instrument performer
A clarinet player is someone who plays the clarinet, a woodwind instrument with a single reed.
The term is interchangeable with clarinetist, though clarinet player sounds less formal: She's been a clarinet player since middle school.
In jazz and classical contexts, the longer form often appears in casual conversation while clarinetist dominates written credits.
