The major makers offered everything from standard 17 key 6 rings through to full Boehms (B&H, Buffet, Leblanc and Selmer - even Yamaha made some full Boehms), but sadly that is no more. The only companies offering full Boehms are a few Italian makers and Amati - maybe some of the German makers too, but they'll be pretty expensive.

I've seen from an old price list that Leblanc, like Selmer, made full Boehms in sizes other than Bb and A as well as plateaux full Boehms which would no doubt weigh a ton (I wouldn't mind a plateaux full Boehm myself).
