Clarinets in C

Clarinets in C are mostly being used to avoid the player having to transpose if the part being played is written for C Clarinet. For example much of the Classisical repertoire, or if they want to play straight from a hymn sheet or song sheet which are in “concert pitch”. They do have a different, slightly brighter sound however, and some clarinetists use it for that reason. Berlioz used them in his Symphony Fantastique for this reason.
