Well, it really does depend on where you live.
In Orange County, CA, where I am, there are 10+ youth orchestras within a half hour driving distance (I direct one of them). In my program alone, there are 70+ violinists! Our concert this past week included Mozart's Figaro Overture, Glazunov's Serenade, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 6.
In a number of the high schools here, there are 2-3 orchestras in each one, with the top ones all playing symphonic repertoire that involves A clarinet. I'm *constantly* being asked by families to help them locate A clarinets for their students, but most music stores only have a few available for sale that are very expensive, and even fewer rent them. I've loaned my A clarinet out to students more times than I can keep track of.
