Re: Albert system mouthpiece

Looks to me like a "hybrid," or rather a Boehm compatible mouthpiece done with some Oehler looking attributes.

I standard mouthpiece of Oehler clarinets would have groves throughout the surface between the 'lines of ligature' to hold the reed string on (blattschnur). German mouthpieces are a few centimeters LONGER and the tenon is 1mm or so wider in diameter (to accept the stress of the constant winding of the string ligature). Also (in my opinion) the true German mouthpiece is NOT an acceptable acoustic match for the Boehm clarinet.
