Curious. Is there, or has there ever been a clarinet made with oehler/German fingering system, but the "French" bore?
Essentially, the r13 bore with roller keys and oehler fingerings?
I imagine the old school clarinets were this, but anything more recent? Say from 50s upwards?

There are Oehler system basses with the wide (23mm) French bore, but no soprano clarinets with German/Oehler system and French bore from what I know of.
The nearest you'll get to a 'Reform German/Oehler' is a simple/Albert system made by a Belgian, French, English or American maker as they have the lineage of the non-Boehm keywork but with a French style bore and mouthpiece.

There's been some discussion here about the clarinet played by this guy:

It seems to be a Buffet where the lower joint has been Germanised. The suggestion was that the customisation was done by Rene Hagmann.

He's playing Boehm (probably reformed Boehm as there is the "doubled pad" for F/C right hand little finger)). French fingerings- with the addition of tuning vents for low F/E (pretty much an automatic version of the various low F keys provided by Buffet Tosca etc). He may have rollers between the C/G# key, didn't look closely... but still a clarinet with French/Boehm fingering.
