In some of the Sousa band arrangements before WW1 there are indications in clarinet parts, of "tone Vibrato." During WW1 Sousa made all his clarinetists switch to the French system as a protest against German aggression.  There are all sorts comments by his clarinetists, most of whom were playing the "German, Albert" clarinets, that some of the things that they could do on the Albert system were not possible on the Boehm. When you are playing in the highest paid musical group of the day, you do what the boss wants. 

That is SO interesting.  More "fuel."
