Comparison Chart

I've put together a chart to hopefully help clear up the positioning and characteristics of the various G-series models (and CV) as they play on a Geyer-style horn.

Your horn of course may differ in where it's midpoint is, and the CV likes to wander around this chart depending on the model of horn because its design differs significantly from the others.  However, this is my best take as a reference guide for how the models relate to each other on the average Geyer-style horn.
