 RE: G (alto) clarinet

Greek and turkish thing as far as I know.
I just got a low G albert system instrument (Amati, brand new, ok instrument, when I've really sussed it out I'll post a review)and am in the process of learning how to play it. The sound is radically different from the Bb boehm system buffet that I have, and I have read of Giora Fiedman playing a Boehm system G on a recording (which I haven't heard).
It is definitely the instrument for Turkish and Romanian up through the Balkans type music, but I do find that the Bb is the right tone for klezmer.
Having said that though, if anyone has an albert system Bb that they would like to sell to me please get in contact beacuse I'm convinced that would be THE right sound. I'm in Brisbane Australia and unusual instruments are a bit thin on the ground...
The albert system is more difficult to play on in some keys, but it just sounds right, so I don't think there's a question of tone verses inconvenience to be had.

cheers
Seamus
