That could be evidence that nobody wants clarinet players any more. Equally, it could be evidence that there is plenty of demand, but an even greater supply.

What instruments are sought in the trade press? Is it all guitars and drums - which would support your interpretation? Or do you also find ads for violas, bassoons and horns, which would tend to support the alternative interpretation?

As for the electric keyboard, what I find more worrying is the number of parents who appear to think that buying their kids a cheap'n'nasty keyboard is a viable alternative to sending them to proper piano lessons.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
