The mouthpieces of a clarinet and a bass clarinet are identical in design. Where they differ is in size alone.
the oboe is 30 inches i think
Yes, unless it's a student size bassoon compaired with a bass-oboe
"Clarinet" actually comes from the French word, "clarionette", or "little trumpet". This has to do with the size of the clarinet as well as the sounds and tone of its higher notes.
picalo, flute, recorder, clarinet,
There are several types of clarinet-like instruments, including the Bb clarinet, the bass clarinet, and the alto clarinet. These instruments differ in size, pitch, and construction, which affects their sound. The Bb clarinet is the most common and has a bright, versatile sound. The bass clarinet has a lower pitch and a richer, deeper tone. The alto clarinet is larger than the Bb clarinet and has a mellower sound. Each instrument has a unique construction that influences its sound quality and range.

The modern bass clarinet as we know today was invented by Adolphe Sax. (Later the inventor of the saxophone) Previous to that were other single reed woodwind instruments, but they do not have the same fingering or bore size as the modern bass clarinet.
There are two kinds of woodwind instruments that have single reeds: the clarinet family, and the saxophone family. For any size clarinet or saxophone, there is a special size of bamboo reed that fits the mouthpiece for that size. The reed is fastened to the mouthpiece by a ring or band called a ligature. Double-reed instruments have reeds made of two pieces of bamboo instead of one, and the reed fits onto the crook or neck instead of onto a mouthpiece.
My Yamaha b flat clarinet is 26 inches tall. :-)
The clarinet family includes the regular clarinet, a smaller version that is still straight called the E-flat clarinet, and then several larger ones that have bends or curves in them, including (in size order) the alto clarinet, the bass clarinet, the contra-alto or E-flat contrabass, and the B-flat contrabass. A soprano saxophone looks somewhat like a metal clarinet, and has a single-reed mouthpiece like the clarinet, but it is part of the saxophone family, not the clarinet family - the bore of the instrument and the fingering system are entirely different from the clarinets.
