Well therecould be many reasons. One is you are putting to much mouth on the mouthpiece and remember to have teeth on top folded lip on bottom. Another reason is your reed is either to soft or to hard. If it is to hard you usually get no sound or very little sound. If your reed is soft you squeak more than usual. The last reason is you need to clean out your instrument. If your sound is very airy then that is probably why.

How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?

The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.

What does a bass clarinet sound like?

Well first off, I have been playing the Clarinet for quite a while now, so to me it might sound different than someone who isn't in band or plays the clarinet...anyway, I think the clarinet is a beautiful instrument and produces a magnificent tone...if the player carries themselves with good posture, then this will improve the tone also. A good reed always helps too! :) Overall the clarinet is a great sounding instrument which produces a sound close to a Bass Clarinet or possibly Oboe or bassoon. mainly the bass clarinet though..hope this answers your question! :)
