New Horizon's Clarinet Choir

clarinets

E-Flat Alto Clarinet – Pitched between the soprano and the bass clarinet, the alto clarinet, adds color and harmony in the lower clarinet range.

Bass Clarinet – Pitched one octave below the standard soprano clarinet, the bass clarinet is larger in size and sound than the alto. It has a rich tone that is distinctly different from other instruments in its range.

Contrabass Clarinet – The largest commonly-used clarinet, the contrabass sounds an octave lower than the bass clarinet. It is sometimes called the “pedal clarinet” because its sound mimics the pedal notes played on a pipe organ with the feet.
