Usually you get a good Boehm clarinet for a much lower price than a comparable german/Oehler clarinet. I guess, if 1000 Euro is the maximum, it would be hard to get a german system clarinet.

The only case where you should really consider to play the german system is if you plan to work in a german (or austrian) symphony or opera orchester (and then you need to be a veery good player). Otherwise it shouldn't matter. I am german myself and a late starter for the clarinet and am completely happy with the Boehm system, I never considered to buy a Oehler clarinet.

Besides, I guess it is possible (with suitable moutpieces etc.) to sound on Boehm in a way very similar to the "german sound".
