The A#/Bb model or the Cbb?

Looks like G-triple-sharp to me...

I think it looks awesome, what am I missing?

Probably because it does look awesome.

I think the commentary is just spouting a bunch of enharmonic equivalencies to describe it.

But its compensating system is also enharmonic in nature, as distinct from blaikley system.

Enharmonics jokes. A#, Bb, Cbb and Gx# are all the same sounding pitch in 12 tone equal temperament.

You know what they say, if you have to explain the joke, that makes it even funnier.

Is it an "A" harmonic? No....
Is it a "B" harmonic? No...
Is it a "C" harmonic?

BTW, this is one of the few posts I've seen where the instrument for sale has been completely polished before selling. It's a beauty!
