Dorjepismo,
that's interesting, must've been a great experience for you!
It seems that nowadays, there aren't many too different key parts manufacturers. For instance, the g#/c# key on many small makers' clarinets has a very specific swung form, but are sanded down to fit into their own concept, so I'd assume these are all made by one corresponding manufacturer.
I absolutely agree with your statement that the final assembly and tuning are what makes a great clarinet. Many makers use the same type of drilling machinery made by Boehm Tools, yet some produce particulary great results. Likewise, Ridenour apparently crafts sucessful instruments from relatively cheap material sourced entirely from China.
Oh, what if Uebel decided to produce a plastic bass with decent key material... ?
Caihlen,
That's what my initial post tried to outline: Now you can order them for trial and pay an OK stocking fee. Unless you're refering to Wurlitzer & co., but don't worry, it's still bothersome to find one for trial here in Germany and Reform Boehms aren't readily available at all. For starters, you could use a german mouthpiece. I know someone with a very nice set of L&K who plays on a Boehm mouthpiece and claimed there wasn't too much of a difference to the french sound. IMHO, my Viotto B3 on a german clarinet sounds slightly darker, but whether it's me or the instrument, I've somewhat alienated from the german sound over the years.
Keep in mind that intonation might be an issue with different MPCs on the "wrong" instrument.
