I just ordered one in C. I've already got a 14-holer in C which I never play, but the SBS should be different.
This guy says C, D and F are low; G and A are high. This was information I had been seeking, so you may appreciate it.

I have had three of these for some years and actually got them out of the back of the cupboard for our local jam session last week.
They play well but the wooden comb swelled a lot on the D & C after use that i had to file the comb back. The A seems to be ok.
This maybe because I am a 'wet' player and I enjoy a beer while playing!
It is nice to have the extra note range.

I was thinking if I buy another it may be a G because I don't have a high G, but then I thought, maybe I should just practise the middle and high octaves more on my standard G! How do you find the (effectively) high A - is it good to have when the band is in E, or is it too high?
