Okay, now it is two times.  As many have said, in days of old you could 
not by a 5G small shank.  (The 5GS is really not a small shank version 
of the 5G.  It is almost identical with a 6 1/2AL. )  However, enough 
players pestered Bach with custom requests for a small shank 5G that 
they relented and started making the large and small versions both 
standard items.
