If you use a site from a music store get as much detail as possible, down to the average mass of the item, if you want, but ask all questions to make sure you get what you want.
Double check all refund and shipping policies also, since you may get something you didn't want and have to return it.

First, look at the picture. 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.
Second, check to see what key the instrument is. Alto clarients are usually in E-flat and bass clarinets are usually in B-flat.
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.
For my next post, we'll wrap up the clarinet family and move on to the saxophone family! Yay!

It's so much easier to pick up than the piano (both figuratively and literally speaking ), and you can play along to almost any song on the radio after listening to it for a minute. That = friggin' impossible on piano.
And I've only been playin since Xmas.

Funny. I could do that at four years old, and I still can't so much as tune a guitar...
