Re: Buffet Full-Albert or Oehler?

It's similar to the Selmer 'Improved Albert' system - one of them has been painted as a massive mural on the side of a hotel (I'm sure you've seen photos of that doing the rounds).

Oehler systems aren't made by French makers as they're a German thing and have a German bore, but the keywork on both shares the same heritage going back to the Classical-era 5 key clarinets and developed from there.

Albert was a Belgian maker whose name has been attributed to the simple system even though it was made by loads of other prominent makers in Belgium, France, the UK and the USA.
