Subject: Re: Extended Diatonics.


After reading all the posts re: extended range diatonics, curiosity got
the best of me and I purchased a 14 hole Marine Band 365 (G). It is tuned
exacty the same as my MB 1869 in the low end. The difference consists of
4 extra notes at the high end. There is no extra octave at the bottom.
What gives? Are there multiple 14 hole MB 365s?
