I really like the analogy that Boehm is windows PC and German system is Mac. Yes, Boehm is cheap and it is used everywhere in the world, but German system is used by Berlin Phil and Vienna Phil, two orchestras which are generally considered to be the best two in the world. Once a time, most people also considered Mac was going to die and only very few companies were developing software for Mac. However, nowadays more and more people (even in developing countries) begin to use Mac although it is still much more expensive; it is still only sold in Apple stores or some authorised stores but not in common computer stores; it still doesn't have as many software as Windows (like accessories for German system). Thus in my opinion, we probably should predict the future by judging which type of instruments is better at doing music (not price, accessories, repair etc.), particularly some objective points, like intonation, dynamic range, easy to play high notes, easy to play quarter notes etc. I personally don't care about the sound difference, but I notice some people here even insist that we should use C clarinet to play some Beethoven because of the sound composer intended. Due to these people, I gather German system must have a very bright future, just considering which type of clarinet sound inspired Brahms to write his clarinet pieces.Did he ever hear the sound of Boehm clarinet? Or did he know there is another type of clarinet? If he knows, I would imagine there is a chance he would write down "Op. 114/115/120, for GERMAN clarinet" like he did for the horn trio (for natural horn).
