RE: Consider the Full-Boehm!

Under the heading of Buffet Clarinet below, I attempted to describe the function and usefullness of the additional 3 keys and one ring [with added pad] to the usual 17/6 cl. Having bought my first teacher's F B Penzel Mueller , which he played in movies [before sound!!], I grew up with it in school bands and orchs and found good use for all the extras, some only occasionally. To me, the lack of popularity of the additions is due certainly to the added cost, key weight and length [for low Eb]. Also the little- recognized "Resistance-to-Change" we all have, may be the most important factor [IMHO] but I must admit I play the 17/6 unless I find passages where the F B is needed. I'm amazed but happy to see all of the above discussion, carry on ! Don
