I think it's worth noting here that a clarinet is no different than other solid objects when it comes to virus survival, and researchers have already been looking into this question, as SunnyDaze noted above regarding an article in Business Insider. On wood and metal, traces of the virus were seen for several days, not longer.

Also note that the test used to detect the virus will continue to give a positive result for some time after the virus is no longer viable. This is because it looks for the presence of virus genetic material (RNA), which persists for awhile after the virus starts to decompose.

What this means is that the estimates of virus persistence on surfaces already tend to be on the safe side. So if someone else has handled your instrument, for example a technician, just wait a week until handling it yourself.
