Well, when I finger a C it plays a B. Mind you, I'm putting my
mouthpiece and barrel on it. It turns out it did come with a mouthpiece
and two barrels, but I don't know if either of the barrels is original.
I suspect not. The mouthpiece is a Selmer Goldentone; it's affixed to
the shorter of the two barrels by electrical tape, because the
(plastic) barrel is cracked and the lower ring is loose. Both barrels
are shorter than my barrel.

Best regards,
Don Morris
