A broad choice of clarinet models

Our clarinet type instruments category covers the main instruments in the clarinet family, from standard B flat models to larger and more specialist versions. The clarinet is a single-reed woodwind with a distinctive, flexible sound that works across many styles.

Different clarinet type instruments are chosen for their pitch, tone colour and playing role. Smaller instruments can bring brilliance and agility, while bass and other extended models offer depth, warmth and support in orchestras, concert bands and chamber groups.

For study, ensemble and performance

Musicians browsing clarinet type instruments may be looking for a school instrument, an orchestral upgrade or a more unusual member of the family. A good choice balances comfort, response and intonation so the instrument feels dependable from the first notes through to demanding repertoire.
