This reminds me of the instruments Hawkes used to market, which were
advertised on the backs of various orchestral parts. They had a range of
"simple-system" instruments, with extra money buying extra keys, rollers,
etc., and the Boehm was at the top of the range.
Presumably no more than one of these could be termed "Albert" system. The
top price non-Boehm of the last lot I remember looking at resembled a
Clinton in most respects, but didn't carry his name.
