Jennifer, When I taught beginner band, myself and the other staff visited each elementary school and demonstrated each instrument (except drums.....). Then each kid could choose what they want. If there was some indecision they were able to try the two choices and then decide (this was done at a later meeting when music companies were at the school to rent/sell instruments). We rarely had a situation where a kid couldn't play what they chose (assuming adequate home practice...). When it did happen there were ways to let them switch and eventually catch up to their peers. I have bought clarinets privately myself in music stores where they let me try a number of them before buying. I imagine they would be more than happy to accommodate private customers' kids.
