I see why I didn't note the icon you refer to -- it's a Flash animation.

Now, I've read the list of clarinets (and clicked through to links) and
see a high Ab and a Müller-system 'half-soprano' G clarinet -- which
looks from the picture and spacing of the keys like it's a _low_ G clarinet.

Then there's the flash-animation on the front page which lists a Boehm G
clarinet, again looking like a low instrument:

Then there is the 'made-on-request' list where both the Müller and Boehm
G clarinet are listed, but again the impression is that these are low
not high G. Model numbers are the same as for the (pictured) low
instruments.

As for the clear explanation, I can't find it -- perhaps I'm having a
bad day. So can you post a link to the page where it's clearly
explained? :-)
