Hello Bear,

In the US, I would say that almost all professionals who play primarily
classical music own A Clarinets. This would include many undergraduate and
most graduate students studying clarinet. Some amateur players like myself
also own them.

C clarinets are not nearly so common but I believe the number in use is
increasing. I am only sure of one person here in Las Vegas that has a C
clarinet but there may be a couple more.
