Re: Improved Albert or Oehler

Chris P., these pictures bring up a question I've had for awhile. On modern German system instruments, the facile rule of thumb is that it's an Oehler if it has the plateau for the RH middle finger, and it frequently looks from makers' sites like if it doesn't have the plateau, it's "Vienna-style." It's probably not that simple, but what, in terms of key work, are the main characteristics of top Viennese clarinets that distinguish them from German-style/Oehler ones?
