"Didn't the Berlin Phil offer Ricardo Morales, playing his Moba, a position in their otherwise all-Oehler by decree clarinet section?"
I believe that to be "fake news". There was a period when they invited some Boehm-system players to play as guests with the orchestra, including Morales, Carbonare and others. But they never had an audition in which they allowed applicants to play on Boehm system.
Ruben- I believe that the player is far, far more important than the instrument. Every player has to know their instrument and its sound and intonation tendencies. Imagine 2 players on Buffet RCs playing octaves of E4 (flat on most Buffets) and E5 (sharp on most Buffets). Unless the players make the necessary adjustments, playing the same model would in this example make intonation worse!
