please strike what i just said about the albert system...

<<<<<<
How is the Albert-System Different?

The Albert system has 13 keys and two rings, as opposed to the 22/5 in the Auler System and the 17/6 in the Boehm System. It is for this reason that the Albert System is often referred to as a type of simple system clarinet. Differences between Albert-System and Boehm system (from the Boehm perspective) are:

Fewer rings, and rearranged/missing keys in between rings.

G# key does not cross under A key.

Wraparound register key.

Two less trill keys at right.

Missing F# (below middle C) key at left and two missing keys from block of four at bottom of clarinet.

The fingerings for B/Bb (below middle C) are also changed around.
