short... :-P). The upper joint, however, definitely appears to be longer,
23.9cm vs 22.3cm, end to end. And the spacing on the holes starting at the
3rd left finger on up matches my A. End to end comparisons with that are not
meaningful since it's a full Boehm and has the hole through the tenon.

aren't using? Umm, or a lower joint of a Buffet A?
