Hi,
does any other companies make full boehm clarinets besides amati, patricola and ripamonti. I know selmer and buffet used to make them but do they still?

I'd suggest checking the full catalogs of the big 4. Even if not shown, I'd be quite surprised if you could not obtain an F B, at least by special order. EBAY usually has several, and being top-of-line would be the best of their time period. Don

Buffet definitely make a Full Boehm, but I don't know the model name or number.

Hi,
Buffets web site says several of their pro horns are available in full boehm. That includes the RC.
Does anyone know were I could find one?

If you've got money then just give them a call and they'll tell you who's got one or two. If you aren't ready to buy then you're out of luck most probably. They're rare animals and they're going to cost a bit more than the "run of the mill" horn. You're not going to be able to try many at all.
Why exactly are you looking for a full Boehm? Most clarinetists will have the A so that transposition isn't always required when playing the A part. It's been a tradition in Italy to transpose the A parts onto the full Boehm (with the low Eb) but not anywhere else to my knowledge.

If I needed an A clarinet I would just get one. I am just looking at the options. I would like an alternative Eb and low Eb for all the jazz I play. I would also like a ring for the C/G tone hole so my finger can find ints place over the tone hole when I get really nervous.

Leblanc offers a full Boehm. The LL model is used for the full Boehm as well as various combinations of special mechanisms. I have what I guess you could call a 3/4 Boehm--articulated G#/C#, forked Bb/Eb, alternate Eb/Ab key, but no low Eb. I find the extra keywork comes in handy and would like to have the low Eb also, although I doubt a horn so equipped would fit into my alto sax trepak case. A full Boehm or 1/2 or 3/4 Boehm is a special order that will take 3 or 4 months to fill.
