Re: Albert vs. Oehler

They are very similar, except that the German Oehler system can have many more rings and keys and other "doodads" added (like rings on every finger hole and extra little finger keys etc.).
Here's the German firm's, Karl Hammerschmidt, site with their more "German" style set up:

And from the same site, in their G klarinets, on the left a couple of klarinets closer to the standard Albert-looking setup, and on the right the more Oehler/German looking setup.

It's probably a bit more complicated than this, but there are some sites on the internet that go into greater detail. I personally play the Albert/Simple system with no upper rings and prefer the fewer keys and rings style.

I hope this helped.
