Reform Boehm System
The Reform Boehm system is a fingering system for the clarinet based on the Boehm system. It was developed to produce clarinets with the Boehm keywork but with a sound similar to a German clarinet. Development The Reform Boehm system was invented by German clarinetist Ernst Schmidt (1870–1954), who used the original Boehm system as early as 1895. Schmidt made changes to the Boehm clarinet based on scientific and mathematical principles. The new instrument had rollers between two little-finger keys in the right hand, and a modified bore that produced a different sound character. Schmidt named the instrument the "Reform Boehm clarinet". In the second half of the 1940s, master clarinet maker Fritz Wurlitzer, based in Erlbach, Vogtland / Saxony, built a clarinet with Schmidt's instructions. They had collaborated earlier in producing the Schmidt-Kolbe clarinet, a variant of the German clarinet. Both modified a clarinet with the Boehm fingering system to sound like an Oehler (G ...
