Greg, it's _NOT_ a typo.

I have a box of 2 1/4 & 2 1/2 Anches. These are the REAL deal. The 2 1/4 is equivalent to a 4 to 4-1/2 in Vandoren. The 2 1/2 is equivalent to a Vandoren Traditional 5. I had a box of 3's that someone was kind enough to tajke off my hands. (That person was a 5 1/2 "BITER" ... who later called me somewhat frustrated for the 1st time in his life)

OH, & if somebody doubts me. These PLANKS of wood were purchased in the late 1970's to early 1980's by Carl Marks. I believe that Carl was the sole U S importer at the time ( ... or the last one remaining, depending upon one's point of view )

Call Maria Marks @ Marks Music in PA & she'll gladly sell anbody the 2 1/2 or 3 Anches! (they can't give the 3's away, I'd warrant) Be ready for the $29.95 + s/h price tag!

Best,
mw
