In an orchestral setting you find yourself using an "A" clarinet about one third of the time. They come in handy even for situations where it is more comfortable to play the written Bb music up a half step (of course the converse is also true).


But as stated above, band music does not require one.



It is also very helpful to know your utility clarinets (Eb and bass) when pursuing an orchestral career. Many fine players get there first gigs as bass or assistant principal/Eb players first.


So, get ready to buy more clarinets, reeds and mouthpieces.
