In comparison to the Bb soprano the Eb is much shorter. It plays 5 half steps above. The C is shorter than the Bb but not as much as the Eb. It plays one whole step above the Bb. The A is a bit longer than the Bb and is one half step lower than the Bb. The alto clarinet is in Eb and the bass in Bb. There are clarinets in numerous keys. The Ab clarinet is shorter than the Eb and is 5 halfsteps above the Eb. it is a tiny little thing. The contra-alto is an octive below the alto and the contra-bass is an octive below the bass. There are (i believe) three octa-contra-altos and one octa-contra-bass in existance. There are D clarinets, G clarinets, Basset-horns that are in the key of F and Basset Clarinets (A clarinets with a range to low C), there are also clarinets in other keys which I cannot think of right now.
