I'd just like to know if Theobald Boehm who invented the
metal flute in 1847 is the same person references in the
Boehm-system clarinet. Thanks.

Yes he is. HOWEVER, it was Klose and Buffet working together who adapted the Boehm system for the clarinet. Boehm himself was not involved in adapting it for the clarinet.

Just to add to what Dee said, Klose and Buffet were inspired by the simplicity of the Boehm-system flute to produce a clarinet with a simple fingering system which was different from anything before. They named it "Boehm System" in honour of the man and his flute.

Do you know where I can get a fingering chart that list the extra keys for Bflat clarinet: articulated C#-G# and fork Eflat-Bflat and some fingering exercises to learn how to play these special keys?
