RE: G (alto) clarinet

Just found out a little bit of info on when the Boehm clarinet may have reached Bulgaria. I was just at Balkan Camp in Maryland, and we had a clarinet class with Mark Levy (of the Univ. of Oregon) on Bulgarian clarinet. He taught a couple of tunes from the repertoire of Georgi Koev, a folk clarinetist in the mid 20th century. Apparently, Koev used an A Albert system for his playing. The reason he used A was because he played with gudulka players a lot, and those darn stringed instruments always like the key of A. I asked Mark about when the Boehm system reached Bulgaria, and he wasn't exactly sure, but figured it was around the 1960's-1970s. That was about the time that "wedding band" music began to develop, but I don't know whether this chicken or this egg came first.
