The discription of the different registers is really awful. This would be considering a beginning/intermediate player, which should really not be what are claiming the sound to be. Altimisso register is not always shrill, especially on an A clarinet. Neither is the break necessarily bad-souneding. Also the differences between the Bb and A clarinet I think should definitely be mentioned.

The range of notes playable on the Bb clarinet is incorrect. The E to C range describe on this page is only the "written range." The clarinet has fingerings for notes up to a G above the C above the staff. Even higher notes can be acheived through overblowing, though the sound is often shill and difficult to keep in tune.
