What is a soprano ukulele for?
Nothing, they are the same thing. The original ukulele was what is now referred to as the soprano. The larger concert size was made to get a bit more sound for a bigger audience. And then the tenor size, bigger, deeper sound.
Is the Alto Clarinet smaller than the Bb Bass Clarinet?
Yes, the alto is smaller. They both have crooks in the neck just below the mouth piece somewhat like a sax. The Bb is heavy and quite a bit longer than an alto and rests on the ground between your feet during concert performances with the help of a stem stand. The alto is played along side the right leg.Since bass instruments are generally bigger than the original instruments, I would say yes. The bass clarinet is tall and big, and sort of shaped like a saxophone. The alto clarinet is the same thing, but smaller. And the regular Bb soprano clarinet is straight and usually plastic. They all use reeds (bigger the instrument, bigger the reed). There is plenty of information.
What is the clarinets full name?
The clarinet has no full name. It is just known as clarinet.
What is the difference between the B flat soprano sax and the E flat Soprano Sax?
A B-Flat soprano sax is in the same key as a trumpet, clarinet, tenor sax, etc.. This is the most common soprano sax. If you were in band you'd probably be playing one of those parts as most band arrangements don't have a soprano sax part. An E-flat soprano sax is in the same key as an alto sax, or a bari sax. Sopranos in this key are less common & if you played this one in band they'd probably stick you with a alto sax part. My opinion is to get a b-flat as that is the most popular key for soprano & has more opportunities just in case the band actually does need a soprano, you'd be able to play the part.
Can you show you a pic of a clarinet?
Go to Google and you can find so many clarinet pics just by typing in the word clarinet.
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.

Why do clarinets and saxophones transpose?
Im not sure if you meant 'why' or how' do clarinets and saxophones transpose. For the sake of logic, I will assume "How do clarinets and Saxophones transpose" as the alternative does not make sense to me. Well, quite simply, from a clarinet to a Tenor or Soprano Saxophone, there is NO transposing needed as the Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone are all Bb (B Flat) instruments (which means that a C on the Clarinet will sound the same as a C on those 2 saxes). However, for the Alto and Baritone saxophones, you will need to transpose, as Alto and Baritone are Eb (E Flat) instruments. One thing to note is that a Clarinet has a Register Key, while a Saxophone has an Octave Key. The register key raises the pitch of a clarinet by a 12th (19 semitones) while the Octave key raises by an octave, or 8th (12 semitones). Just something to consider when making the transition :)
What is the difference between soprano concert tenor ukuleles?
Size of the fret board is the primary difference. The soprano is typically 13 inches from Nut to Bridge. Concert is 15 Tenor is 17 Baritone is 19 The tone gets lower the larger you go. The larger size provides more volume as well. Bigger hands need more space. For arpeggio and plucking I prefer the Concert. I find the Tenor just a bit bigger than is comfortable for many fingerings and the soprano just a bit smaller. For strumming I can use any of the sizes.

How did the clarinet get its name?
To answer your question on what is a clarinet. It is a woodwind. You do not know what a woodwind is well I know. There is different woodwinds there is a clarinet, flute,saxaphone, and oboes. Nobody knows where the clarinet got it's name. I just play the clarinet.
Are trombones B flat instruments?
Yes...and no. While trombones and trumpets both share the Bb as their fundamental pitch, they READ music differently... The "Bb trumpet" is a transposing instrument. A written C comes out as a Bb. The trombone is a concert pitch instrument. A written C comes out as a C. So, trombones are PITCHED in Bb....but they READ in C, just like a flute or piano.
