Not exactly, bass clarinets have five keys at the bottom instead of four, but other than that I think it is the same.

How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?

The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.


If you have played regular clarinet for about four years will it be easy to play the bass clarinet?
