Clarinetto=little clear one is correct, imo.
But that's not how we "hear" the word, so to speak. Claro has been substituted by "Chiaro" (Clarinetto would become "Chiarinetto"), thus when we hear "Clarinetto" we think about the instrument itself, not about something clear.
Steve: as I wrote above, people here still use the word "clarino" referring to clarinet, but that's a mistake or sometimes a conscious use of a wrong word, a way to give variety to the conversation (I do that from time to time, and is something rather common here).
I have never heard the word Clarino referred to a trumpet, except in philological context.
