Thanks John,

The Seydel Chor comes in C and G and is described here:
http://www.seydel1847.de/epages/Seydel.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Seydel/Products/51483/SubProducts/51483C

Other keys are possible if special ordered through the forms on the 
"specialities" page (clicking on the tab near the middle of the upper 
tab row on the website).

Thanks,

Rupert Oysler
