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.

Is an Eb clarinet longer than a Bb in length?
I think it's smaller than the Bb Clarinet. At my school "the midget one". Eb, Bb, Ab and bass/contra. ---- Around 17"
Do all clarinets have the same fingering?
Yes, they do. It is the length of the instrument that determines the pitch differences. For example the bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the B-flat clarinet; the shorter E-flat soprano clarinet sounds a fifth higher than the B-flat.
How is the bass clarinet related to the normal clarinet in size and pitch?
The Bb bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb soprano clarinet and so is approximately double the length (following the curves of the neck and bell). Many bass clarinets have additional notes at the bottom of the instrument - some extending to a low C, compared to the the soprano's low Eb. Basses with extended range will be a bit longer - more than double the length of the soprano.
How does changing the pitch of a flute affect its frequency?
the shorter the length of air thats allowed through the higher the pitch and the longer the length of air thats allowed through the lower the pitch, generally the pitch determines the loudness of a sound
How does opening and closing the holes on a clarinet change the pitch if the reed is the source of the sound?
The vibrations start at the reed, but the pitch is changed by the length of the tube the vibrations go down. Therefore, closing more holes causes the tube length to increase and the pitch to decrease. There are also some changes in the way the vibrations are formed at the reed for the higher octave pitches.
