Re: Why did they make full boehm clarinets in A?

Dominic - I found the full Boehm Eb purely by chance on 'the famous auction site that nobody shall name' in Hungary, so had to have it as I use the gadgets a lot on my Bb/A full Boehms and often opened or held the C#/G# key down on my plain Buffet Eb which caused some problems. So now I can use the same fingerings and especially the forked Eb/Bb which I also use a lot.

My full Boehms are all Selmers - I had a Leblanc LL full Boehm but sold that recently to a former colleague of mine who is really enjoying it. I do also have a Buffet full Boehm Bb clarinet, but that's more of a curiosity if anything.
