There is 4 types of Clarinet, the regular clarinet is the smallest and is the most popular. The alto clarinet is curved like a Saxophone and slightly deeper than the regular clarinet. The bass is shaped like the alto clarinet but is bigger and deeper still. Last but not least the contrabass clarinet is the biggest of all the clarinets, shaped like the alto and Bass Clarinet and it's sound is very low.

How many clarinets are there in a orchestra?

There may be up to three or four different types (different sizes and ranges) of Clarinet in a standard orchestra, depending on the particular music to be played. However, they would not be referred to as 'clarinet families'. The family to which clarinets belong is the 'woodwind family', which in a standard symphony orchestra also comprises flutes/piccolos, oboes, and bassoons. There are well over a dozen different types of clarinet, many of them very specialised, but you would not expect to find more than a few types occurring together in a standard orchestra.
