Since its invention, as the time passed the clarinet evolved and in every stage to something more complicated. This was either to add some extra tunes or to make it easier to play by adding extra keys and alternative fingering positions.
Eastern clarinet followed this evolution up until mid 18th century but stopped there and was not involved with the rest of the progress which ended in Boehm system clarinets. Instead the Eastern clarinet almost stayed the same apart from some small additions.
As it is not manufactured widely, it is not easy to find a modern Albert system clarinet unless you are ready to pay quite a lot of money. Thats why most people who are looking for Albert system clarinets make their search in old / vintage clarinets as they are closely related to modern Eastern clarinet.
