There have been several posts about resin instruments not being very good,
and implying that it's the material that matters. I want to point out that in
a comparison of two instruments, or classes of instruments, there may be many
differences other than the material of the body. Since resin instruments are
meant to be low cost, they might also have less careful workmanship than the
wood ones. They might also have poorer keywork.
