I've been scouring pawn shops from here to Texas (really) and have come
across very few instruments, let alone C clarinets. Some nefarious
person has been buying 'em all up (is that person you, Dan?). At one
time instruments were a common sight in the local LA pawn shops, but no
more, except for usual guitars, drums, saxophones and some flutes. The
well has run dry.
