Harry Partch developed a 43 note scale and a large number of special instruments to play within it, many of them played by mallets. There were no clarinets in his music but perhaps the BP clarinet could have fitted in. The music scores did not require that one played the 43 notes in the scales consecutively. It surely has been described on the internet. Notes were ratios and the sounds were very harmonious.

After Partch died, the instrument collection was used in San Diego at the university and also perhaps at Buffalo, NY. I rehearsed with the group in the 1960s with a mallet instrument referred to as the "Blue Rainbow". The carefully written scores had ratios lettered above notes, as I recall. Concert pieces and operas were written and performed.
