Indeed, I wish to know in which armies the clairon is still in use. In our army (Belgian army) it was formally abolished in 1963, but in some units it is still in use. Are there other armies where the sounds of the clarions still can be heard in the barracks? :-)

Not on a daily basis, thank god. The clarion is AFIAK only used to play the last post in the dutch armed forces.
