Goodman is most identified with Selmer. In the 30's he's known to have played a Selmer Paris K series and in the 50's a Selmer Paris Centered Tone. If he's like most musicians, though, he probably had a closet full of instruments.

Benny Goodman developed an interest in classical muisc and recoded the Mozart Clarinet Concerto and Clarinet Quintet. He also commissioned Bela Bartok to write "Contrasts", for clarinet, violin and piano which he premièred with the composer and the violinist Joseph Szigeti. However, this question doesn't really make sense. It is important to read over things after you have written to check that they express clearly what you mean. Names of people and places, etc. should begin with a capital letter.

One could safely assume he had several. Since this instrument was his "bread and butter", if the instrument was unplayable, he would not be able to work - hence having several as backups, or for different playing conditions (indoors, outdoors, inclement weather, etc.).
