The clarinet is helpful to the symphony orchestra because it provides a well-blending instrument that is strong in its many ranges, contrary to the oboe that has a very distinctive sound and a smaller range. The clarinet is also helpful to players that play in groups, be it symphony orchestra or band, because it is easier to learn than others. It is also a good bridge to doubling instruments, such as the Bass Clarinet or Contrabass Clarinet, allowing a director to be able to strengthen a certain section by using a clarinet player, ie A band has a strong clarinet section, but no low woodwind/brass section. The director could easily ask one of the top clarinet players to double on Bass Clarinet without worrying about the player needing too much instruction as it is very similar to the clarinet.

The clarinet is a woodwind instrument, so it wouldn't be found in a brass orchestra.
