 | | The Boehm System made its formal premiere in 1831, when Theobald Boehm performed a musical piece on an eight-keyed flute that he had built. | | | The intricate technical passages in the music, played flawlessly by Boehm, proved that the new Boehm System was far superior to any fingering system that came before it. | | | Some of the motions required to play musical passages are executable, but are not entirely natural. |

| | Graham's Music! |
| | He dreamed of creating a new clarinet system, and with inspiration from the revolutionary designs of Theobald Boehm, the musical genius of Klose and the technical wit of Buffet led to the creation of the world's most admired and widely used key system not only on clarinets, but throughout the woodwind family. | | | The instrument is based on Boehm's concept of using a single scale with what would be considered accidentals in the particular scale inserted into the general fingering pattern. | | | While not completely eradicating the A clarinet, some musicians still use a full Boehm horn in place of an A clarinet, but rarely in a proper concert setting. |

| | Boehm flutes |
| | Boehm put every tone hole (but one, the c''#) in its 'acoustically correct' position, not where the fingers happened to be. | | | In 1846–1847, Boehm studied acoustics with a Herr Prof. | | | They considered it more suitable and better adapted to chamber music, as it more nearly approached the flute for which the music was written." De Lorenzo relates that he personally did not agree with this. |

| | Mühlfeld’s Clarinet |
| | One of Baermann’s colleagues in the Munich orchestra was the flautist Theobald Boehm (1794-1881). | | | Baermann followed and admired Boehm’s work; this, along with the inadequacy of existing clarinets to cope with the increasing technical and volume demands of orchestral music, inspired his own quest to develop a new clarinet design. | | | The association of the Baermann clarinet with Richard Mühlfeld and hence with the music of Brahms is alone sufficient to make its acquaintance worthwhile. |

In 1959, Selmer of Paris manufactured the first Mazzeo system clarinets. |

| | Boehm System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Boehm System is a system of fingerings, created by inventor and flautist Theobald Boehm in the 1830s which was originally used on the flute and then on a variety of woodwind instruments, including the clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone. | | | The idea is that one should be able to start at the bottom of the scale by putting all keys down, then move up the major scale one note at a time by simply lifting one finger at a time. | | | The bassoon (and contra-bassoon) are unique members of the woodwind family in that they are both fingered with Heckel-system keywork, a descendant of the original Baroque fingering system, as opposed to the otherwise ubiquitous Boehm system. |
