|In countries where the Oehler system is popular are there any
|manufacturers turning out (cheap) plastic 12-key Albert system clarinets
|(probably pitched in C) for children starting out. I have seen what I
|believe to be such an instrument and am wondering at its origin. It
|looked quite new and had no markings.
I'm wondering if this is a coincidence or if this is what you saw, but
Buffet makes a plastic Eb Boehm System Clarinet for young children called
"Kinder Clarinet". It is held in a backpack case out of foam and
nylon/polyester that the child can carry like a backpack.
