The short answer to the question is no they are not quality instruments.I
looked at these for my son who wanted to play clarinet.The build quality on
2 specimens I saw was poor.The backpack bag is very nice though. I ended up
buying a used Amati Eb clarinet-(at half the price&was playable with
reasonable intonation)
