The Uriel Weinreich Yiddish dictionary does in fact give the three plural
forms of klezmer - klezmer, klezmers, klezmorim. I could add my father's
variant. He once said "klezmoyrim", probably based on an analogy with the
Yiddish plural of dokter/doktoyrim - klezmer/klezmoyrim. He was a doctor so
I think it was a one time mistake. - Itzik
