It has a built in music stand screw so it was clearly designed for use in a marching band. I did notice though, when finding which note on the piano corresponded to a sound from the clarinet, that it was a toss-up between two, and I wrote the one that sounded the closest.
One other detail was that when using my Boehm clarinet, F sounds a little different from the brass one, although the latter can achieve the same sound by using the thumb, index finger and a register on the side.
It's a bit like some of those eye tests at the opticians, because when I now play them one after the other, the same notes do largely sound the same. It's possible, because I do not have perfect pitch, that my attempt at matching their notes via the piano is somewhat far from perfect.
I quite like the challenge of learning both systems at once, as I'm only learning for recreational purposes. Nevertheless, the newer, plastic one (the Boehm) certainly gives a more pleasant sound.
