How many clarinets are in a band?

Answer 1

There are usually one 1st Clarinet and one 2nd clarinet. But sometimes the orchestras are larger so they double it to then have 4 people playing. Also, sometimes the pieces require more clarinets such as bass, piccolo, contralto and so on, because of this, then you will need 4, 5 or sometimes more players.

Answer 2

Most symphony orchestras have 3 clarinets, which may double bass clarinet or Eb clarinet. Classical and early romantic music tends to only have parts for 2 clarinets, whereas late romantic and 20th century music may occasionally call for 4 or even 5 clarinettists.

Answer 3

There may be up to three or four different types (different sizes and ranges) of clarinet in a standard orchestra, depending on the particular music to be played. However, they would not be referred to as 'clarinet families'. The family to which clarinets belong is the 'woodwind family', which in a standard symphony orchestra also comprises flutes/piccolos, oboes, and bassoons. There are well over a dozen different types of clarinet, many of them very specialised, but you would not expect to find more than a few types occurring together in a standard orchestra.

Answer 4

There aren't many clarinets in orchestras, a chamber orchestra usually has only one and a symphony orchestra despite its size is mostly filled with string instruments, there are only about 2 or 3 clarinets in there.

Answer 5

There are 2-4 clarinets in a standard orchestra. Sometimes the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th clarinet doubling on another clarinet(bass, Eb, A....etc).
