Yes, as specified in the video and its description, it’s an Eb piccolo clarinet. I don’t think anyone uses the term micro, but if you want micro, check out the video of the 1st Fantasia played on Ab piccolo clarinet. That’s really small, and high.
Thanks for your comment. The sop/alt/tenor/bass nomenclature is problematic for clarinets. I know in North America the Eb clarinet is fondly referred to as a soprano clarinet (please correct me if I’m wrong!) but the Bb and A clarinets are already soprano instruments. It would be misleading to call them mezzo-soprano clarinets, if one wanted to place them distinctly between Eb piccolo and Eb alto clarinets. If we look at the saxophones for a second, they’ve got a soprano in Bb, a sopranino in high Eb and a soprillo in high Bb, however they have far fewer instruments in the family than clarinets do so these distinctions are clearer. I feel that referring to clarinets higher than C (i.e. clarinets in D, Eb, G and Ab) as piccolo clarinets in their respective "key" is a clear way to go about it rather than possibly confusing people by using the vocal range-type nomenclature. Anyway, the clarinet has such a huge range that all clarinets are often set in multiple tessituras over the course of a work.

Eb (micro) Clarinet?

Sopranino Clarinet?
