Somehow I don't seem to have a problem with that number.

Back in the day there were really only TWO clarinet makers if you were serious about the instrument, Buffet and Selmer. Selmer was considered the "jazz" clarinet. When big bands went away for good, that left Buffet to pretty much control the market. Other contenders were always around but never got the huge market share that Selmer and Buffet achieved over time.

A friend once said, "We live in a Buffet world," and I don't have any reason to doubt that. I'd say just go up to the players in your local orchestra or show pit and ask them what they play. There are some notable exceptions, but for the most part you'll hear that the answer is Buffet.
