There was a C bass clarinet. One of the Berlioz overtures, either Les
Corsairs or Benvenuto Cellini, has a brief part for bass clarinet in C,
doubled by the econd clarinet. THe amazing Italain bass clarinet carved
out of a curved log that is in the collection in the Boston MFA and many
American bass clarinets from the early 19th century were all in C.
