Where to try out clarinets?

I live in Connecticut and I have been going through the tedious process of trying out high end clarinets through the mail order places, e.g., WW&BW and Pro Winds. This is very time consuming and confusing at best since I only order 2 or 3 at a time. It's difficult to remember what the strengths and weaknesses of all of them are when you don't have them all in front of you to switch back and forth. It seems as if there are no longer any local places to do this. They have been put out of business by the mail order places. Sam Ash doesn't seem to carry the higher end instruments. I am amazed that New York City doesn't even seem to have any place, at least that I'm aware of. Any suggestions or am I stuck with mail order.

Thanks.
