Some people on Klarinet have criticized some of Gibson's statements, but
FWIW:

It is unfortunate that Oskar Oehler's adaptation of the oboe's F
resonance mechanism to the Mueller-system clarinet at the beginning of
the new century did not find its way around the world until most
professional clarinetists had given up the Mueller for the Boehm system.
Not even E.J. Albert's Mueller (Albert System) clarinets could compete
with the Boehms, since they lacked the one device which could have
brought them to full equality.
