"The 'Oehler' ... O. 'Oehler' was the first principal clarinetist of the
Berlin Philharmonic when the orchestra was chartered in 1848.

"Yours,
Don "Oehler"

Is this coincidence of unusual names an anecdote already widely
known in Klarinet land?? (Also are there comments concerning the possible
contribution of the "Oehler system" to what I hear (in recordings only) to be
the amazing sound of Sabine Meyer-- a contributing factor, certainly not
wanting to take anything away from the pure artistry of her playing.)
