Re: Unknown Albert system clarinet

I've done a bit more research on the possible origins of this mystery instrument. I haven't come up with an identical match, but by far the closest are the instruments made by Kohlert in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I checked it against a couple of Jerome Thibouville Lamy Alberts and there are significant differences in key shape and absence of rollers, but the Kohlert is pretty much identical with the exception of the long left pinky key. Mine is straight while the Kohlert key has a curve at the bottom to accommodate a slightly offset tone hole. Apart from that the key patterns and touchpiece shapes are pretty well spot on.
