Last year we did Zarathustra, and the guy playing 2nd used a Yorkbrunner (next to my Nirschl).  During a break, we quickly discovered that the Yorkbrunner was 4 or 5 inches taller than the Nirschl!  I'd always heard that Hirsbrunner *sorta* copied the York, but used many pre-existing mandrels to produce his copies.  Thus the discrepancies in the 'copies'.
Dunno.  Maybe I'm wrong.  It's happened before.  ;^)
