Re: Where are the student A clarinets?

Agreed, the market is almost non-existent depending on location. My experience is that (in the US at least) the majority of students k-12 will be in bands and not orchestras. I can't think of a single example of wind band literature that calls for an A clarinet.

The exception would be if a particular student got into a community orchestra or all state orchestra. Or if they wanted to learn older solo literature and/or chamber music. But in the latter it would make much more sense to transpose the parts to Bb.

Really the only people who need A clarinets are music majors and professional performers. Comparatively, not much market attached all for a student A clarinet.
