Subj: Types of clarinets?!
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 1995 22:13:19 -0400

Is there any reference that shows pictures, descriptions of all the types
of Boem type clarinets, preferably including samples of range and sound?
(Maybe a CD rom?). Going through the catalogs, I find mention of:
Soprano Bb, A, C, D. Also an Eb which I assume is higher than soprano,
is there also a sopranino? Also an Eb alto, a basset clarinet, a basset
horn, a contra alto, a bass and contra bass. Have I left any out?

Please let me know if there is a book, article, or whatever that gives
some detail regarding the characteristics, differences among the various
types. Thanks!
