 Graham's Music!
He dreamed of creating a new clarinet system, and with inspiration from the revolutionary designs of Theobald Boehm, the musical genius of Klose and the technical wit of Buffet led to the creation of the world's most admired and widely used key system not only on clarinets, but throughout the woodwind family.
The ideals of Theobald Boehm used on the clarinet combined with the popularity of the flute mechanics may have lead to the naming of the key system.
Although the system initially perused by Buffet and Klose is still by far the most popular key system used for clarinets throughout most of the world, some felt it could be improved.

 Boehm System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boehm System is a system of fingerings, created by inventor and flautist Theobald Boehm in the 1830s which was originally used on the flute and then on a variety of woodwind instruments, including the clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone.
The bassoon (and contra-bassoon) are unique members of the woodwind family in that they are both fingered with Heckel-system keywork, a descendant of the original Baroque fingering system, as opposed to the otherwise ubiquitous Boehm system.
It replaces the older Albert system, and is known predominantly for simplifying the progression of fingerings as one moves up and down the scale.

This led me to Wurlitzer's Reform-Boehm system instrument.
The answer always lies in the combination of the tonal character of the instrument itself, the technical adjustment of the mechanism, and the subsequent matching of the mouthpiece and reed to the system.
As we all know, the generally accepted understanding of how a clarinet was supposed to play and sound was changed drastically at the end of the 19th century.

 Rosario Mazzeo Collection at the National Music Museum
Thus an interest in developing and refining the Boehm system led Rosario ultimately to the development of his own 'system.' In 1959, Selmer of Paris manufactured the first Mazzeo system clarinets.
"One of Rosario's main concerns about the regular Boehm system clarinet was that the register vent was too large for the best upper register performance, yet too small to produce a rounded tone on throat B-flat.
In his own words, 'Fundamentally what was sought was an improvement of the mechanism over the break of the clarinet to facilitate passage work and sonorities in the area of the break.

 JNL 5: Boehm-System Bassoons in the 19th Century
In view of the worldwide success of the Boehm flute and the ever-increasing spread throughout the world of the clarinet built according to the Boehm system, one is perfectly justified in wondering about an equally advantageous application of Boehm's construction principles to the bassoon.
Boehm committed himself to "drawing up plans for a new bassoon using his system" (16) for this workshop, and with these plans, Boehm's contributions to the improvement of the bassoon were at an end.
One totally independent application of the Boehm system to the bassoon is presented not in writing but in the form of a surviving instrument: this is the work of the instrument-maker Heinrich Joseph Haseneier (1798 - 1890) of Coblenz.

 The Boehm System
The system is now also applied to other instruments such as the clarinet and oboe.
The development of the Boehm system was a major breakthrough in the modern technology of musical instruments.
Boehm claimed that the closed caused tonal problems, but these problems were eliminated after the invention of the open E key years later.

 Mühlfeld’s Clarinet
Compared with the clarinets of the Classical and early Romantic periods, the “Boehm” clarinet was virtually unrecognizable, with its fundamentally different fingering pattern, “French” bore shape (with a long, flaring expansion in the lower joint), wider mouthpiece and reed and, within a few years of its introduction, use of tropical blackwood as the body material.
A further legacy of Carl Baermann was the design of the Baermann system clarinet, which was the dominant clarinet in the German musical world in the second half of the 19th century, and is the direct ancestor of the instruments used in Germany and Austria today.
Baermann followed and admired Boehm’s work; this, along with the inadequacy of existing clarinets to cope with the increasing technical and volume demands of orchestral music, inspired his own quest to develop a new clarinet design.

 JNL11: The Boehm-system bassoon and the Wilhelm Heckel firm
As on the Boehm clarinet the same notes could be played with the little finger of either hand, in this case the notes are low E, F, and F# (adding low Ab to the right hand little finger and middle register C# to the left hand little finger).
The system of connecting rods between the joints is so complex that a holding together that swings out had to be designed between the tenor and long joints so that all the rods could be carefully assembled and disassembled.
Except for these changes, the rest of the instrument was the normal Almenrader/Heckel system in the position and size of all the tone holes.

The overwhelming experience of hearing the sound of the two Wurlitzer clarinet systems and of speaking with and playing alongside these two gentlemen confirmed in me the realization of the musical, tonal and intonational advantages of the German bore clarinet over the best French Boehm clarinet/mouthpiece/reed system in existence.
Proponents of the Reform-Boehm system cite the improved bore design of the Oehler system coupled with the more facile Boehm technique as reasons for their preference.
They were available in the German Oehler and Schmidt-Kolbe systems as well as in Boehm system.

 flutehist
Because there are fundamental acoustic differences between the flute and the clarinet (the flute overblows at the octave and the clarinet at the twelfth) one could not put a strict Boehm system on the clarinet.
With an intricate system of keys and springs, Boehm was able to produce a more in tune and stable instrument, even though the tonal quality suffered from the pure sound of the earlier key systems.
This system has been used on the clarinet, saxophone, oboe and a hybrid is used on the bassoon.

The Boehm System is a system of fingerings, created by inventor and flautist Theobald Boehm in the 1830s which was originally used on the flute and then on a variety of woodwind instruments, including the clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone.
Theobald Boehm (April 9, 1794- November 25, 1881) was a Bavarian inventor and musician, who perfected the modern flute and its improved fingering system, which has not changed since his time.
After a study of acoustics at the University of Munich, he began experimenting on improving the flute in 1832, first patented his new fingering system in 1847 and his new flute was first displayed in 1851 at the London Exhibition.

Obviously you can play the same music stuff with a Boehm System clarinet, but if you are looking for some specific sound you have to play an Albert System clarinet.
If you listen to the radio and you hear a clarinet you can tell it's a Boehm system because the tone is so light, you know.
Sometimes, in a European tour some Albert System players found out that in Germany there's a clarinet called "Oehler" with the same fingering that the old Albert System, this is the case of Edmond Hall, who bought a nice "Oehler System" from KARL HAMMERSCHMIDT.

 Clarinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most common system of keys was named the Boehm System by its designer Hyacinthe Klosé in honour of the flute designer Theobald Boehm, but is not the same as the Boehm System used on flutes.
It was inspired by the Boehm system developed by Theobald Boehm, a flute maker who had invented the system for flutes.
The other main system of keys is called the Oehler system and is used mostly in Germany and Austria (see History).

Some clarinets are made with a different set of keys; although the Boehm system is the most common, both the Albert system and the Auler (pronounced oiler) system are still in use.
Clarinets come in many different sizes and all are transposing instruments, which means that the music for the clarinets is written in different pitches than the note actually sounds.
A clarinet type instrument has been around for many hundreds of years, although the instrument that we recognize as a clarinet wasn't invented until the end of the 17th century.
