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.
There are many kinds of clarinet, so I will tell you all the types that are most commonly played: The B-flat soprano, E-flat soprano, E-flat alto, B-flat bass, B-flat contrabass, and the E-flat contrabass. Hopefully this helps!
There's one Oboe that's higher. I have no clue what its called. After the oboe is its alto version called the oboe d'amor. The tenor version is called the English horn. The next is the bass then there's the contra bass. I think that there's one more under that to be honest I'm not sure. There are videos on YouTube of the d'amor, english horn, bass and contra bass oboes. I hope this can help.

Well there are two main ordinary oboes,student and expert along with consecrata (I cant remember how you spell it because I don't have that type of oboe) oboe, student and advanced.
A woodwind.
A bass clarinet, like all the different types of clarinets in it's family, have one reed.
There is the Bb Soprano Clarinet, Ab Piccolo Clarinet(rare), Eb Soprano Clarinet, D Soprano Clarinet, C Soprano Clarinet(rare, cos people thinks it's too bright), A Clarinet, Basset Clarinet, Basset Horn, Alto Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Contra-Alto Clarinet, and Contrabass Clarinet!

The Clarinet.
Clarinets are used in many different ensembles, rangng from Orchestras to swing bands. There are also clarinet choirs where all different types of clarinet play in harmony. Clarinets were also used alot in the Big Band era into the 1940s. Glann Millers Big Band found what it was looking for in the 1940s when a clarinettist joined them.

I think you are referring to the Bb Clarinet which is single but there are acually 3 different types of clarinets. Bb=single Oboe=double Alto=single
no, if it's a student clarinet in B flat then it is the same as a regular clarinet in B flat. only difference is that the student model will be of lesser quality and maybe somewhat "easier" to play
Soprano, Bb and bass are some types.
like 8 Bb, A, Contrabass, Piccolo, Alto Contrabass, Bass, and Eb ithimk its all theyre may be more though
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.
some anscestors are the Oboe, and different, earlier models of the clarinet.
Somewhat. The Bass Clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb Clarinet. It is also much bigger and requires much more air, as well as a looser embrochure. There are also a couple extra keys (depending on your model) that allow you to play even lower than low E.
