(I have no connection with Conn-Selmer)
I'll take a stab about why many of us will not quote street prices. Since the clarinet is just coming to market the price to dealers has not been set in stone as yet. Different dealers will receive different pricing from the manufacturer based on their sales volume, volume ordered per quarter, and special promotional pricing on a particular model. The street price depends on demand by the public i.e. the higher the demand the higher the price (or premium) charged by the dealer, the profit margin set by the dealer for covering their overhead and profit needed to sustain their business model. Large mail order houses have a different business model than brick and mortar stores and sell for less but depend on volume of sales to generate their profit margin. There are a bunch of subtle nuances involved in pricing such as the lines carried by a particular store. Some manufacturers will give greater discounts to stores (used generically for both virtual and real stores) if they handle a complete line of instruments - woodwinds, brass, strings from one manufacturer or they will take on slow moving models along with more popular and desired models. The pricing from the manufacturer also depends on the sales volume of a particular model and may change over time depending on sales volume and impending replacement of a particular model with a newer model. Manufacturers may also institute MAP (minimum advertised price) or some variation to try and even the playing field of large and small dealers but the selling price may be different than this MAP pricing. These are but a few of the conditions which determine street price.
