There are People who use Boehm-mouthpieces on Oehler-System and the other
way round. I personally would only use a German Mouthpiece on a
Reform-Boehm-Clarinet (or sometimes called German-Boehm) BUT it depends on
many things.

1. What is our clarinets bore width?
2. What Type of German Mouthpiece you want to use?
(There are some nearly similar to Boehm)
3. What kind of sound do You want to achieve?
4. Is Intonation important for You :-))
5. Does Your clarinet work properly for You at the time (never change a
running system :-))

.... And so on...

Best Georg
