I know one clarinet player who seemed to be on the "Pimp My Clarinet" show (like that American show "Pimp My Ride"). Every last part of his setup is an endorsement, and it was obvious it is very valuable - to him and to the companies!
A lot of his students were buying the stuff, and he probably got it for free. One good thing about it is companies will have their products available and a lot of people can try them.
In my country there is almost no endorsement at all with clarinet products, since the market is so small. It is good because people are less affected by "big names", but it is bad because we have very few products available at all.
Unless you are playing in the Philharmonic or a successful soloist that travels, you are unlikely to know many companies other than Vandoren, Buffet, Selmer, Leblanc, Yamaha, and other main ones, and even most models from those are special order.
