 I notice that a disproportionate number of the portraits with clarinet are with big ones. Dr Freud would have something to say about that . . .

 Well, even Freud and Groucho are quoted as having said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

 Larger instruments with multiple curves are just more visually interesting than a small straight stick. 
 
Besides, people who play the larger clarinets are demonstrably cooler than those who play soprano instruments [he said, ducking and running for his life].
