Re: How many clarinetplayers in the world?

Not too long ago I searched with various search engines trying to get the opinions on what instruments were the most popular, number of players,etc.

It seems that the prevailing opinions are as follows:

Generally:
1. guitar
2.piano.

String instruments in orchestras:

1. violin
2. cello
3. bass
4. viola ( although bass and viola seem to be close)

General woodwinds in both band and orchestras with oboes being mainly in orchestra and saxophones being in other venues mainly other than orchestra:

1.flutes
2.clarinets
3.saxophones
4.bassoons
5.oboes.

Of course there are variations.

What's strange is that even though both violin and piano are such difficult instruments, they are very popular with many players!

With piano I'm talking about a decent level of proficiency and not just "banging away."
