Boehm system (clarinet)

Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOE : Boehm system (clarinet)

The Boehm system for the clarinet is a system of clarinet keywork, developed by Hyacinthe Klosé. The name is somewhat deceptive; the system was inspired by Theobald Boehm's system for the flute, but differs from it (necessarily, since the clarinet overblows at the twelfth rather than the flute's octave), and Boehm himself was not involved in its development.
