(Notes: Basset clarinets are played with soprano clarinet mouthpieces. Narrow-bore basset horns are often played with soprano clarinet mouthpieces, while wide-bore basset horns are often played with alto clarinet mouthpieces. Contra-alto and contrabass clarinet mouthpieces may or may not be interchangeable, depending on the instrument [1].)
