Does anyone know what the "C#" means on these pieces? I read that Albright plays on a C90 Custom Jazz, and on weinermusic.com they carry two customs; the custom jazz that is labeled a C22, and a custom small bore that is labeled a C10. I thought it may indicate a tip opening, but the custom jazz on the aformentioned website has the tip openings listed independant of the C22. I'm left to assume that it's some sort of model number, but if that's the case then why is Albrights Custom Jazz labeled as a C90? I'd like to order one of these pieces, but after searching all over the internet (including beechler.com) for hours, I can't seem to find any information on what this "C#" means. I assume the C stands for "Custom", but it's the number following the "C" that has me perplexed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Contact Judy Beechler directly she can help you. I believe Gerald plays a Custom Studio model which is C90 (they make C70 thru C95 or C100 tip openings)...

Cool deal, thanks.

Probably tip opening in thousandths of an inch. So 80 is about a Meyer 7 and 90 about a Meyer 9, which would be pretty open for alto.
