There is in fact 3 size , you forget to notice the "junior" for the kids. I bought recently a plastic long Naill ,and with all kind of reeds the low G is to sharp .I notice that the two tuning holes on the bottom side are too large ,compared to the Naill in the 90 years. So i corrected it by taping the tuning holes.A very bad point for Naill factory !
