Sorry, I knew somebody would misinterpret what I meant because it was not well stated.  When I said: 
 "Perantucci" is a name and model numbering scheme more or less slapped on 'tweaked' B&S and hirsbrunner instruments, amoung others. 
I meant:
 "Perantucci" is a name and numbering scheme more or less slapped on 'tweaked' B&S instruments.   It (but probably more Custom Music) is also responsible for the odd numbering scheme we have for Hirsbrunner intruments in the US.  When one says "Perantucci", one could have easily meant a B&S or a Kurath instrument.
 
Better?
