The "Piccolo Clarinets" are a any kind of clarinet smaller (and therefore higher pitched) than the Eb clarinet, the highest kind of soprano clarinet regularly used. The most commonly used piccolo clarinet (although none are common) is the Ab clarinet.
Soprano Clarinet is another broad term: It is a subtype of the clarinet family including the Bb clarinet, by far the most common kind of clarinet. It also includes the A clarinet, the Eb clarinet, and the G clarinet (rarely used, except in Turkey).
The basset clarinet is a clarinet similar to the usual soprano clarinet, most commonly in the key of A, but longer and with additional keys to enable playing several additional lower notes.
The basset horn is larger and has a bend near the mouthpiece rather than an entirely straight body (older instruments are typically curved or bent in the middle), and while the clarinet is typically a transposing instrument in Bb or A (meaning a written C sounds as a Bb or A), the basset horn is typically in F (less often in G). The basset horn, weirdly enough, is not actually a horn.
Bass Clarinets are another family of clarinets, these ones sounding lower than any of the previously mentioned. They are much larger and usually supported by a peg at the bottom (you'll notice the difference straight away, because generally a bass clarinet has a large, protruding bell and reaches the ground.) While variations on the typical key of Bb exist (Notably C and A), they are incredibly rare.
The alto clarinet is usually pitched in the key of Eb, though instruments in F (and in the 19th century, E) have been made. It is sometimes known (in Europe) as a tenor clarinet. In size it lies between the soprano clarinet and the bass clarinet, to which it bears a greater resemblance in that it typically has a straight body, but a curved neck and bell made of metal. All-metal alto clarinets also exist. In appearance it strongly resembles the basset horn, but usually differs in three respects: it is pitched a tone lower, it lacks an extended lower range, and it has a wider bore than most basset horns.
The contrabass clarinet and contra-alto clarinet are the two largest members of the clarinet family that are in common usage. Modern contrabass clarinets are pitches in BBb, sounding two octaves lower than the common Bb soprano clarinet and one octave lower than the Bb bass clarinet. Some contrabass clarinet models have a range extending down to low (written) Eb, while others can play down to low D or further to low C. The contrabass clarinet is also sometimes known by the name pedal clarinet.
Together these various types of clarinets make up the clarinet family. So, in size, from smallest to largest, they are: piccolo clarinets, alto clarinets, soprano clarinets, basset clarinets, basset horns, bass clarinets, contra-alto clarinets, contra-bass clarinets.

Why does a clarinet have a reed?
The reed is the main part of the clarinet. Without it you cant play the instrument. It allows you to blow threw the clarinet to make the noise. This goes along with some other woodwind instruments (the flute and recorder are the only woodwinds that I can think of that don't need a reed).
The length of time you have to have braces on depends on what needs to be done to your teeth. The average is about 2 years, I'd say. The cost varies from office to office and probably state to state. And it also depends on what you need. But average is probably about 3 to 5 thousand dollars. Some insurances will pay for a part of it. Most won't.
Most offices have lots and lots of colors. Clear, grey, white, many shades of red, yellow, blue, orange, red, purple, green, etc. They have some with a bit of sparkles in them. Shades of brown. Probably black. Every office will have a little bit different variety, but they all have lots of colors.
More input from FAQ Farmers:
- Braces have to stay on for usually 2 years, 1 minimum. It all depends on how your teeth are aligned. The worse the teeth are, the longer the braces will have to stay on. Sometimes it also depends on whether you listen to your orthodontist because they're usually the ones who advises you to help you towards your goal with your teeth. Braces usually cost 5,000 to 7,000 dollars. The bands are usually available in a variety of colors such as the colors of the rainbow, gray, black, brown, white, tooth-colored, clear, and even sparkly, metallic, and glow-in-the-dark bands.
Colored braces are a cool new trend but, they make you need braces a lot longer.
Cost for everything (office visits, retainer, lab stuff, etc.) could be nearly 10k all in. I always found that grey bands made the braces way less noticeable. You would think the white ones would be best, but they made it look like you had plaque all over your teeth.
If you or your parents decide that you need braces, you're bound to have pain. I should know, I have had them for going on 3 months now. You DO NOT want to skip an appointment, that just makes the treatment longer. Also, go to www.archwired.com, it will tell you exactly what is going to happen- when you get your braces on for the first time, wire changing, and many other useful things. If you have bad eyeteeth (like I do), then you'll have to have rubber bands to pull them down. Just a little tip: they HURT! You can't eat with rubber bands in. Also, rubber bands can only be used once. They have to be changed at least once a day. And actually, colored braces are the same price as the other kind, and they DON'T make you need braces longer.
my braces cost $5850 and i have a very minor case..
In the UK braces are free on the NHS. At my orthodentist their a a large variety of colours; browns, whites, blacks, greys all the way to neons. If you don't like these colours, then you can always change them the next time you get them tightened. I've had my braces tightened three times now and I've just had a new, thicker wire placed on. I was told by a friend that once you get the first thick wire on it's about 6-8 months until you get your braces off.
Lolli92:
I live in the UK and to go private you have to pay about four thousand pounds for your regular train-tracks, if you like. Or you can go on the waiting list for the NHS, which I did, but that meant I couldn't get colours put in. But at some orthodontists they will do colours for you. Getting colours doesn't slow down the process. Braces really stay on depending on the case and how well you care for them. x
What song did Gertrude Lang play on the clarinet in Mr Holland's Opus?

When Was The Clarinet Invented And Who Made It?
Instruments similar to clarinets were being used in Egypt as early as 3000 BC. The modern clarinet apparently began around 1690 and it is believed to have been made by Johann Cristoph Denner.
It would be really hard to "date" a clarinet, it does't matter if it's a selmer or any other brand. You can't really have a conversation with an inanimate object. The relationship wouldn't be fulfilling if you know what I mean. I recommend dating a person, going out and get to know each other.
Propellers are either "Left Hand" or "Right Hand". When the propeller is viewed from the blade edge or its side, the blade is angled upward to the left (Left Hand) or upward to the right (Right Hand).

Why won't my new clarinet reeds work?
There may be a couple of reasons.
The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another.
It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.

Bore oil is a type of oil used to clean and preserve the wood of clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and other woodwind musical instruments, as well as the raw, unfinished ebony or rosewood fingerboards of lutes, violins, violas, cellos, double basses, and guitars. It will clean and preserve most raw or oil-finished woods used in most furniture. It is made out of purified mineral oil, sometimes with a small amount of essential lemon oil or other scented, concentrated essential oils added to aid in cleaning and/or to produce a pleasant smell when applied.

How many clarinets are in the imea band?
There are fourty three clarinets in the IMEA band....I hope you mean in Illinois. I expect that A LOT try out though.
They are great clarinets. Buffet is a long standing company. You have to check to know if the clarinet you are buying is made either in France or Germany. The B12 made in France is obviously better, but they stopped making them long time ago. The B12 made in Germany is a decent instrument. Just try to stay away from knockoffs.
