Duty is 4.9% for clarinets (interestingly, there's no duty imposed on
bagpipes ...). If you stay 48hrs or more you can combine the $800 duty
free/person amounts with family members and brings more expensive items
back.

You may also be eligable for a refund of the (GST)/(TPS) and (HST)/(TVH)
taxes.
