No, a Bass Clarinet and regualr Clarinet are not the same. A bass clarinet is much bgger and produces lower notes than a regular clarinet. However, they do have the same fingerings for a note.

∙ 13y agoThe bass clarinet is one octave lower than the regular clarinet. The fingerings are exactly the same, however there is usually a low Eb key on a bass clarinet, and It has a bell that curves upwards slightly. the bass clarinet is also considered a low woodwind instrument, and uses a much larger reed and much looser embouchure.

∙ 13y agoAll instruments of the clarinet family are fingered the same. The differences come in the length and concert pitch of the various instruments. The bass clarinet plays an octave lower than the common B-flat clarinet and used a larger reed and mouthpiece.

∙ 14y agoYes but the basset clarinet can play a wider range of notes, specifically lower notes. Mozart's Concerto K.622 was specifically written for the basset clarinet.

Why do bass clarinets play in orchestras?
Bass clarinets play in orchestras because orchestras sometimes play pieces that are scored for bass clarinet, or have bass clarinet parts in it. One example of a piece like that is The Rite Of Spring, by Igor Stravinsky. It has significant solos and duets by the bass clarinet, and "the show cannot go on" without the bass clarinet. But most pieces, do not have bass clarinet parts, so the bass clarinet is rarely seen in orchestras today.

What kind of clarinets are in the orchestra?
Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.
