I just saw my first Simba clarinet today. The keys did appear to be
SILVER, rather than nickel, plated. Other than that, it did not exactly
exude quality. Even though it was brand new, you could feel the binding in
several of the keys. The simulated wood-grain finish was very nice,
though. As long as these guys keep changing the names, their reputation
will be unable to follow them!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
