Hi, Merlin:
I concur with all you said.
Ralph, the upper joint can have no rings, and the lower joint will have 2 rings. That's a "2 ringer." If the upper joint also has 2 rings (we Greeks call them "matoyialia" or "eye glasses") then it's a 4 ringer. I happen to prefer the clarinets in C, and with no upper rings. Some models have even 3 rings on the upper joint. Many of the German "Oehler" system even have 6 rings (ie 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom).
The tone of the Albert and Simple system clarinets is absolutely necessary for Greek music, and really the prototype sound for the New Orleans/traditional jazz sound.

Merlin and I are both moderators on the Greek Turkish Clarinet Forum by the way.
