Re: Replacing springs on pre-boehm clarinets

Just to add - "non-Boehm" is a better term than "pre-Boehm" to categorise any type of clarinet with fingering/keywork system other than Boehm system (which is actually Klose-Buffet system as Theobald Boehm didn't have anything to do with clarinets). So that includes all simple/Albert systems, Clinton systems, German and Oehler systems (to name a few) which are all non-Boehms.

All of which were being made alongside Boehm system clarinets or further developed during the time Boehm system clarinets were already established. Boehm (Klose-Buffet) systems are a separate system which was a complete reworking of the clarinet from the ground up, just as the cylindrical Boehm system flute (in wood and metal) was a complete reworking of the old simple system conical wooden flutes of the time.
