A friend has a 12C and I have a 12C.
What’s the difference? They look and measure the same, but play very differently.
Any insight would be appreciated.

I have had the same question regarding Olds 1 vs Olds 1, and Olds 3 vs Olds 3
Perhaps the versions are sprinkled with fairy dust?

The star used to mean standard small shank. Non-star meant Olds-small shank, and would sit further in on other horns.
The reason they play differently probably has to do with the backbore/Venturi relationship that you are manipulating.
