The geography of the Oehler system is a little blurred

In this parish, Jane Booth plays some German system Wurlitzers.
and a German student, Ute Bublitz, at the Guildhall, London
has always played Boehm

I have Czech- and Russian-made German system clarinets in my possession.

Swiss born Eduard Brunner plays the Boehm system in Munich
and Hans Rudolf Stalder first played the German system but changed to Boehm
(Zurich)

In German music schools the Oehler system was/is compulsory for German
students
but foreign students were admitted playing the Boehm system

In Holland 30 years ago both systems were played but the German system has
receded

I know personally some German system players in Japan (made by Yamaha)
