Hi Blake,
Its the reform Boehm Wurlitzer, originally made for Germanys
neighbour-country The Netherlands: German bore but French "applicatura": it
comes with rollerkeys (as the Oehler version of the Wurlitzer). There are a
few other (German) brands who offer the so called reform Boehm clarinets,
but, open your wallet: aprox. 10.000 Euro (!) is the price (mouthpiece
included..haha)!!!

Yours,
Jeroen T. Salm
