Tis'. Clarinet players indeed do rock! (I would know.... I am one(: )
The clarinet mouthpiece is called the mouthpiece. It doesn't have a special name.
In a standard orchestra, there are four groups: flutes, oboes, clarinets & bassoons. Each group has alternate instruments the players are sometimes called upon to play. Flute players also use piccolo and alto flute. Clarinet players also play e-flat clarinet and bass clarinet. Oboe players are required to play English horn as well. And bassoon players can double up on contrabassoon. Occasionally a piece will call for a saxophone or two- many flute and clarinet players are able to play sax, though sometimes a saxophonist is called in.

Oh, what a lovely question! A person who plays the clarinet is called a clarinetist. Just imagine them playing beautiful melodies that dance through the air like happy little birds. It's a wonderful instrument to bring joy and harmony to the world.
