After reading all the posts re: extended range diatonics, curiosity got
the best of me and I purchased a 14 hole Marine Band 365 (G).  It is tuned
exacty the same as my MB 1869 in the low end.  The difference consists of
4 extra notes at the high end.  There is no extra octave at the bottom. 
What gives?  Are there multiple 14 hole MB 365s?
