Clarone part - Verdi

Sorry if this question seems a bit dumb - may be it's something I should know but the conductor and the other clarinettists in the orchestra I play in were stumped so I thought I'd ask here!

We are rehearsing music from Verdi's Othello (which I'm sure some of the members here will have played) and there are parts for two clarinets and clarone - What would Verdi have meant by this instrument? Is it still extant?

In practice the clarone part mostly happens when one of the clarinets is not playing and doubles one of the clarinet parts so we can cover it but I'm just curious!

Thanks for any input!

Vanessa.
