Albert system clarinets actually come in a variety of flavors so there can be some differences in appearance. There is still a picture of a "simple" system Albert that sold recently in the eBay auction at the following address:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=20000387

While small, I think it is fairly representative. Don't wait too long to look though. After the sale, the pictures frequently disappear quickly.

Warm regards,

The clarinet does not seem old enough to be using a different incarnation of the Boehm keying system, so I wondered if it might be Albert. Could anyone give me a description of the essential keying mechanisms of the Albert system, and what they look like? I've gotten really curious.
