Boehm System

Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOE : Boehm System

---

The Boehm System is in its original sense a system of keywork for the flute, created by inventor and flautist Theobald Boehm in the 1830s. Key systems inspired by Boehm's for the clarinet and saxophone families also are known as "Boehm systems" although not developed by Boehm himself. Boehm did work on a system for the bassoon, and Boehm-inspired oboes have been made, but non-Boehm systems remain predominant for these instruments.
