At my school, in the top wind ensemble we have 6 clarinets. It's not that we
don't have any more than that, because we have several more in the
department. But, the conductor keeps the section small because all 6 of us
are strong players, and, don't know if this is his thinking but I certainly
thisnk this, that the smaller the section (providing they are all good
players), the better it will sound. I personally cannot stand listening to a
section of 25 clarinets (my high school band was that way and I was their
fearless leader!). It makes my head spin thinking about it.

But besides all this, after this semester I won't be in any wind ensembles
and hope to never be again. Long live orchestra!!! (maybe this is why the
shortage)
