Yes, it is a member of the clarinet family known as the basset horn. Basset horns are pitched an F a 4th below the Bb clarinet and have a range to low C. This instrument has the extension bent back like a bassoon boot joint to make it more compact, however modern instruments look more like an alto clarinet:

In our home we have near 100 clarinet from different eras (including a Bass clarinet made by Oskar Oehler), and sadly there is not time to play many of them on a regular basis. If I owned THAT however I'd make a point of playing it EVERY DARN DAY!!!! Very cool.

Wow, Donald. I thought I was getting a bit obsessive and excessive with 26!;)

Let me add that Bassett horns are also made/pitched in A as well.
