What kind of clarinets are in the orchestra?

Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.
