Basset clarinet

From Free net encyclopedia

The basset clarinet is a modern name for a clarinet adapted to play lower notes than the regular clarinet in A. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K622 was written for this instrument, though in part it is based on an earlier fragment of a Concerto for Basset Horn in G, K584b. Basset clarinets in C, B♭, and G also exist.
