 I purchased a 1928 Buffet full boheme clarinet with low Eflat key. Problem is, I can't find anyone with the fingering charts for this instrument. It's more complex than the regular Boheme system. Anyone know where I could find these. I understand that some philharmonics have gotten back into using these as they do sound fantastic so someone must have them available.

 This site (WFG) does not appear to have the fingerings for the full Boehm. It is exactly the same as a standard Boehm except: 
 
1. Low Eb is played by using that extra key with the right little finger. 
 
2. Eb above middle C can be played T 1-3 | --- 
and the corresponding Bb in the clarino octave is similar. 
 
3. THere is a special fingering which is used for the F# to G# trill in the clarino register, which I don't know but you can surely find with a little experimentation.
