Bass clarinets also exist in other keys, notably C and A, but are very rare (in contrast to the regular A clarinet, which is quite common in classical music). Bass clarinets regularly perform in orchestras, wind ensembles/concert bands, occasionally in marching bands, and play an occasional solo role in contemporary music and jazz in particular. There is an even lower-pitched clarinet called the contrabass clarinet, and a slightly higher-pitched clarinet (but lower-pitched than a Bb soprano) called the alto clarinet. Someone who plays a bass clarinet is called a bass clarinetist.

- The bass clarinet is a clarinet made by the same person who created the saxophone. It is an orchestral instrument, part of the low woodwind section, same as the bassoon. It uses a single reed and mouthpiece, along with a ligature, like the clarinet and saxophone. It comes in two types. The Eb bass clarinet and the C bass clarinet. The only difference, since both are in the key of Bb, is how low the instrument goes. The Eb bass clarinet's lowest note is the Eb nearly one octave lower than middle C on the piano. The C bass clarinet's lowest note is one whole step lower than an octave below middle C on the piano.

The Eb bass clarinet has one extra key that the Bb clarinet does not have, while the C bass clarinet has two extra keys. These keys are located where the right pinkie of a bass clarinet player would go. File:Photo322.jpg
