"Thanks Chris. What I don't understand from that chart though is:
1 - CX
2 - CS
3 - SE
4 - AE
6 - Reformed Boehm
7 - Oehler system
8 - Vienna style
0 - Version/development number
I don't see how only 0 would be the version number. It makes more sense to say, for example, that the 3rd digit is the version. 0 is specific and 'version' is not. Maybe I'm misreading the chart? Also, do you have any idea what CX, CS, SE and AE mean? Are these different 'scales' like the 3rd digit on the flute? If when the third digit is 0 it is not any of the others, what is it?"
The '0' is the 3rd digit of the 250, 450 and 650 - from what I gather (although it isn't mentioned in any clear terms in the manual) it's a further development from the earlier 2-figure models - 26II, 34II, 64 which have now been renumbered in accordance to the chart (2-4-6-grade, 5-Bb, 0-development number).
Therefore going by the chart, a CX Bb is YCL-851, a CS Bb is 852, SE is 853 and AE is 854. A CX in A is YCL-841, CS-A is 842, SE-A is 843 and AE-A is 844.
