Alto clarinet is for those that wish they had a basset horn, lol!

Some pieces in the ensemble I am playing in still ask for alto clarinets. I think their purpose was to double the french horn part in older music, cuz french horns were poor back in the day. Their sound was weak, so many composers would make the alto saxophone and alto clarinet parts the same or similar to the french horn so the line would be carried out. Then, some pieces just want a sound that isn't a soprano clarinet, and that isn't bass clarinet. hehe And of course, clarinet choirs.

And, William, this is a 5 piece too. :) Maybe I found your old one! HAHA!
