Hi guys,

My husband is a greek folk musician who uses a Bb Boem clarinet and is able to get all the quarter tones and styling w/out a problem. He does use and Albert system for playing turkish classical music, and it is best especially for ipirotika, but you can absolutely use a Bb instrument to play in many keys, and many well-known greek folk clarinetists do. It seems like the main prerequisite is to use a softer reed so that you can control the pitch to your liking.
