The general "tuning" note for band is a concert B flat. For a B flat Clarinet, this concert pitch is C. For example, when a conductor states "Play a concert B flat," a clarinetist would play the note C. Also, since the clarinet is a B flat instrument, in most cases, any note will be notated a whole step higher than concert pitch.

∙ 11y agoThere basically some main pitches for clarinets:
~ "Bb" is the most common, which if your regular Band/School Orchestra's clarinet. The Bass Clarinet is also in "Bb".
~ "A" which is required to play sometimes, because it makes it easier for the player to play when the scale key is harder to play. Composers do this often, especially for professional orchestras and chamber music. Also, some famous works by Mozart and Stravinsky are written for clarinet in "A". The "A" clarinet has a little bit of a darker, deeper, mellow sound.
~ "Eb" is found in the alto clarinet and contra alto clarinet, also the sopranino clarinet.
~ "G", "F", "E", "D" clarinets are less common, actually considered obsolete. Remember that clarinets just like instruments have gone through many evolution stages to reach a standard.
