I do not know about Lester Young. However I saw "Benny Goodman's b-flat Clarinet" in the music instrument hall of the Metropolitan museum in NY City about 10 years ago. One would imagine it's still there in its glass case, looking really superb just like its owner used to play.

Goodman did not have a lot of formal education. Most of his studies were purely musical, starting with clarinet lessons at his synagogue and moving on to further work at Chicago's Hull House where he was tutored by a member of the Chicago Symphony. As a young teenager he started touring and at the age of just 16 he joined the Ben Pollack band, famous as an "incubator" of musicians who would later become some of the top performers in jazz. So in effect the music world was Benny's school.
