An alto clarinet is about the size of an alto saxophone, i.e. it's diameter is about 2 to 3 inches and about 2 to 3 feet in height. It also has an upturned bell like alto through bass saxophones have. A bass clarient looks the same as an alto clarinet; however, it is taller (roughly four feet tall) with a kickstand and 3 to 4 inch diameter.<P>Second, check to see what key the instrument is. Alto clarients are usually in E-flat and bass clarinets are usually in B-flat.<P>A third, and my favorite way, is to actually have it in front of you. If you have good arms and manage to throw the sucker 10 to 20 feet away, it's an alto clarinet. If you can lob it 5 to 10 feet away, it's a bass clarinet.<P>For my next post, we'll wrap up the clarinet family and move on to the saxophone family!
