Nope, no generic term here.  Us clarinet players must be infringing.

By the way, I claim the trademark on these hierarchies:

grep 'net$' /usr/dict/words
Barnet
baronet
bassinet
bayonet
Bernet
bitnet
bluebonnet
bonnet
cabinet
castanet
clarinet -- Ooops, Brad got this one.
cornet
coronet
csnet
dragnet
ferromagnet
gannet
garnet
hornet
Janet
magnet
net
paramagnet
planet
signet
sonnet
sunbonnet
tenet
