Hmmm, lets see:

Ab
Eb
D
C
Bb
A
Eb alto
Bb bass
Eb contra-alto
Bb contra-bass
basset horn (if that counts)
basset clarinet (it's in the key of a, right?)

Then there's some strange clarinets like the sub-sub-contra-bass clarinet
(I'm not sure I got the name right on that one, goes all the way down to
12 Hz or something like that)

any others ( I know I'm missing a few)
