Difference between Reforms

Hi,

I was just wondering, what is the difference between the 'original' reforms (those by Wurlitzer, Schwenk & Seggelke etc) and those by Yamahas?

The website for Wolfgang Dietz clarinets also states a new 'Hybrid' Bohem clarinet in addition to the Reforms that he makes.

http://www.dietz-klarinetten.de/boehm_klarinetten.html

Can anyone explain like in detail the difference between them? Including mouthpieces et cetera?

My own guess is that the Hybrid Bohems uses French mouthpiece instead of German mps that Reforms needs?

Those 'originals' = German bore, mps, reeds + French fingering system + additional keywork from German system right?
But I read as well, that the fingerings differs on Wiki... quite confused...

My story goes (cut short) : Tried a german mp on Buffet (i know they dont fit) but found it so much easier to blow on german mps with regards to air flow, articulation, dynamics et cetera. It literally just felt alot better and just *click* suited me better. So, am now more curious about reforms but where I am from, Reforms are very rare (really rare) and it is quite ridiculous for me to travel (13hours + by flight) all the way to germany / austria to try them out...

Thanks.
