 Re: Ab Piccolo (sopranino) clarinet

The standard, garden variety G Clarinet is pitched a full step below the A Clarinet. So it's larger than a Bb soprano Clarinet.

They are still made, but I believe the only ones now produced (perhaps forever) are German system (similar to Albert). One modern example can be seen at http://www.amati.cz/english/production/instruments/files/acl/german/acl_340.htm. Turkish suppliers also offer G Clarinets in silver-plated brass. I have heard few wonderful things about such instruments. The G Clarinet is used in some eastern-European and some middle-eastern music.

G Clarinets pitched an octave higher, a half-step below the Ab Clarinet, have been made in the past, but they are no longer built. Also no longer built are the smaller still Bb and C Clarinets that are an octave higher than the ordinary Soprano instruments.

Regards,
John
