I played Principal Clarinet for the ICA 1992 Belgian Clarinet Festival
Choir. There was a clarinet that was about 12 inches long that a guy from
the Netherlands had. I think it was in the key of Ab. It was a lot smaller
then an Eb clarinet. Then there are the Contra Alto Clarinets, Contra Bass
etc. Quite a few.
