The [http://www.sfoxclarinets.com/bpclar.html Bohlen-Pierce clarinet project] by Stephen Fox (instigated by Georg Hajdu) has so far resulted in the building of a soprano clarinet in the [[BP|BP scale (13ED3)]]; the scale seems ideal for clarinet in particular.

Several compositions have been written for Bohlen-Pierce clarinets: by Canadian composers Owen Bloomfield and Todd Harrop; as well as by German composers Georg Hajdu, Peter Michael Hamel, Sascha Lino Lemke, Fredrik Schwenk and Manfred Stahnke. Links to the former composers' audio streams can be found on [http://www.transpectra.org/audio.html http://www.transpectra.org/audio.html]; and links to the latter composers' audio streams can be found on [http://mmm.hfmt-hamburg.de/index.php?id=konzert-programm_1362008 http://mmm.hfmt-hamburg.de/index.php?id=konzert-programm_1362008].
