David Shifrin playing with the CC Youth Symphony Orchestra with a customized replica 1700's clarinet hand made by Selmer Signet after retirement. Amazing range, and sound.
No it isn't. It's a stretched A clarinet, also known as a 'basset clarinet'. A basset horn is a completely different animal which a big F clarinet. :)
it looks so big because it is a basset horn, which is a clarinet with extended range. It doesn't really matter though, clarinet or basset horn, because he really kicks ass at both
Are all them children? Oh my God..that's a miracle!

No, that is not why. It's a basset clarinet. It goes down to a low C. The mozart concerto was written specifically for it.
Not to be confused with a basset horn.

Look at Sabine Meyer's or Sharon Kam's, German style

It's a German style clarinet, that is why it is so big.
