 Re: Why did they make full boehm clarinets in A?

I don't know if this was the original intent but by putting a low Eb on the A it means that low E and more importantly the B a 12th above both issue from a real tonehole and are not "bell" notes.
This has quite a significant effect on eveness of tone quality and improved balance of intonation.
I guess a secondary effect is that (at least on some instruments) the throat Bb can also be played as a clarion overblown low Eb.
