I have a 1928 Buffet Crampon, full boheme clarinet but find it nearly impossible to find information on it. I suspect a different term from "full boheme" is currently used. It was designed to replace the two clarinets normally needed in an orchestra. Any tips or info on this?

My term for it is Out of My Price Range, but how are you searching for it?

Jandrews,
You came to the right place. Do a Search above and use Full Boehm. You'll find a huge number of threads that should provide you with excatly the info you need.
Good hunting!

PS I have a 3/4 Boehm Selmer 9 (without the low Eb) that is really great.

OK thanks for the tip. Boehm as opposed to Boheme. as for the price range it was one of those once in a lifetime miracles as I picked it up in a flea market. Took several months to even find a repair person who'd ever seen one. He works for a philharmonic in Ca. and said it's in excellent condition, didn't even need any repairs and has a beautiful tone but I'm still finding it difficult to get rolling with it. I'm a flautist and the switch is taking longer than I expected. May end up selling it or may give it another try if I can find the time and info. Thanks.

Terms used frequently refer to the number of keys and rings. For example, a standard Bb would be a 17 key, 6 ring clarinet. A FB could thus be described as a 20 key (+ Ab/Eb, Eb/Bb, and trill C#/G#), 7 ring clarinet.

Well, if it really were a full "boheme", the classic name for it would have to be " Mimi", wouldn't it? ![[toast]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley15.gif)
