The normal "band" clarinet family consists of:
Sopranino in Eb
Soprano in Bb
Alto in Eb (octave below Sopranino)
Bass in Bb (octave below Soprano)
Contra-Alto in Eb (octave below Alto)
Contra-Bass in Bb (octave below Bass)
There are few other clarinets, the most common being the Soprano in A which is used by orchestral players.

It's typical for the Contralto (EEb contra-alto) to also be referred to in concert bands as a Eb contrabass clarinet, which is only kind-of fitting.
In that case the difference b/w that and a bass would be a fifth, and about a foot and a half.

Last I measured, a BBb contra bass was just over 6 feet tall unless you are blessed with a Leblanc "paper clip" model.

Cute, very cute. When I "win lottery" - I'll buy a swag of contrabass clarinets (not to mention a lovely Heckle Contrabassoon).
