Nope. Other way around. The Bass Clarinet IS twice as long as the Bb one, and IS an octave lower.

What is meant by a musical octave?
The interval of eight diatonic degrees between two tones of the same name, the higher of which has twice as many vibrations per second as the lower.
What is the difference between alto and baritone?
Alto and baritone saxes are both pitched in Eb, but the baritone sounds an octave lower than the alto. Playing a written C on an alto produces the sound of the Eb below the written note. On a baritone, the note that sounds is the Eb in the next lower octave. To make that happen, the air column for any given note is twice as long on the baritone as on the alto, and the instrument is correspondingly larger. the mouthpiece and reed are also much larger on the baritone. Finally, many baritones are keyed to a low A, while most altos are only keyed to a low Bb
If the frequency is 300 Hz what frequency is one octave above?
That is 600 Hz as an octave is defined as a doubling of frequency
What is the interval for creating a perfect octave?
An octave is defined as two notes, one of which is twice the frequency (vibrations per second) as the other; also two notes with an interval between them of 8 diatonic degrees.
Two notes form an octave how are there frequencies related?
Any note sounds similar to the note an octave above it- to understand this you have to know that each musical note can be represented by a frequency in Herz (Hz). This tells you how many times a string would vibrate per second if you were to tune the string to that note. For example, the A above middle C is standard at 440 Hz. A string vibrates back and forth 440 times per second to make this note. If you were to play an A an octave above the one you just played, you would have to make the string vibrate twice as fast. In other words, it would be vibrating at 880 Hz (440 x 2). And if you wanted to go an octave below A 440, you would divide the number in half to get 220 Hz. The ratio of the frequency of any note (including a C) to the frequency of a note an octave below it is 1:2. If were able to freeze a string in mid-vibration and look at the actual physical positions of it as it vibrates twice as fast, you would see that the base note would be vibrating like the outline of an eye, which the note an octave above it would be vibrating like the shape of a sideways figure 8 with pointy ends. You can try it yourself with a long rubber band- pluck the note of the whole length of the rubber band. Now divide it in half with your finger. You will get a note one octave above it. Hope I made things better instead of worse!
What is the musical term for the interval between any given note and another that is exactly twice or half the frequency of the first note?
Octave
Why do all the holes on a saxophone maake a diffeent sound?
The pitch of the sax is determined by the frequency of the wave that is produced in a column of air inside the instrument. The vibrating reed sets up the wave, but the frequency will vary as the length of the wave changes. Stated simply, the wave will extend from the mouthpiece to the first open key on the instrument. The longer the wave, the lower (slower) the frequency and the lower the pitch. Add to this the octave key. An open octave key interrupts the wave, preventing it from being the full length of the column of air. Instead the wave will be half the length and two full wave lengths will fit between the mouthpiece and the first open key. Since the wave is only half as long, it will be twice as fast (and sound an octave higher) than the note without the open octave key.
How much would the amount be of a note if it has twice the frequency of another note?
In theory,if the frequency is exactly doubled, the note will be exactly one octave higher.

What is the hardest woodwind instrument?
Well, all instruments really have their own challenges to them. An example of this is the clarinet: Clarinet requires a very strong embouchure (mouth positioning and strength). Another difficulty is that when you press the octave key, fingering the same note will not necessarily be the same note up one octave. Saxophone has one unusual fingering requirement: to go up your normal C scale (Bb concert), you must revert back to the C key twice. Another type of woodwind is the double-reeded instruments. Not only do the fingerings seem weird, but on the bassoon, you have a total of 13 keys to press with your thumbs. So no woodwind instrument is really harder than the other. It just takes a certain type of skill to play each one. The only real way to see what type of instrument you would play well is to just try them.
How much does a clarinet weigh?
wood or plastic resin? this makes a difference not only in the wuality of sound but the weight ratios of the instrument. a plastic clarinet will typically weigh less than a wooden clarinet - BUFFET R13s are the best
