There is a C flat, but it's enharmonically equivalent (same pitch as) a B. Let's take the Gb major scale, it has the pitches Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F. Now, you could say that it's just Gb Ab Bb B Db Eb F, but that wouldn't be correct because the C pitch doesn't appear. There are also instances with some of the more colorful chords that you would come up where you would end up with a similar result, even getting pitches that are double flats and double sharps.

∙ 14y agoA C flat is the same as a B because a half step down is a flat, and a half step down from a C is a B.

N.B - B natural can also be called A double-sharp.

The piano is a "C" instrument, meaning when it plays a C you hear a C. The clarinet is a "B-flat" instrument which means when a clarinet plays a "C" is sounds a "B-flat." I know this sounds confusing and the easiest thing you can do is play, rewrite the clarinet notes a whole step higher than the piano part.

What is the difference between the C B A and the G clarinet?
In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G. So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is. I hope this makes sense... :)
