Frankly, I don't know. I've never SEEN an A clarinet in our store! There
is very little orchestra activity in the area, and they are completely

double case. I just doubt that the matching is done on more than cosmetic
grounds unless you do it yourself.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
