Well since T. Boehm was German (Bavarian):

aren't all clarinets (and flutes, too, for that matter)
"Germansound"?

Granted, a couple of Frenchmen stole his ideas for their reed & hollow
stick instruments, but translating Goethe, say, into English doesn't
make him any less of a German. (Or any more readable.)
