The bass clarinet is a musical tool of the clarinet family. Bass clarinets in other keys, notably C and A, also exist, but are very rare compared to the normal A clarinet, which is terribly common in classical music. Bass clarinets at all times perform in orchestras, wind ensembles/concert bands, from time to time in marching bands, and play an occasional solo role in modern music and jazz in certain. Most modern bass clarinets are straight bodied, with a small upturned silver coloured metal bell and curved metal neck. Early examples varied fit, some having a doubled body making them look akin to bassoons. The bass clarinet within reason heavy and is supported either with a neck strap or an adjustable peg hooked up to its body. While Adolphe Sax imitated its upturned metal bell in his design of the larger saxophones, the two instruments are essentially alternative. Bass clarinet bodies are in most cases crafted from grenadilla African Blackwood or more frequently for scholar contraptions plastic resin, while saxophones are typically crafted from metal. Metal bass clarinets exist, but are rare.
