Hello Omar

Thanks, this might be a good option for some people
and I will consider it if I ever buy a C clarint (I
might).

How does the Forte compare with Amati as far as the
finishing and quality control? Amati instruments that
I've tried (Bb clarinet, bass clarinet and alto sax)
had a lot of problems that imo should have been fixed
in the factory.

Is the Forte and Amati instruments similar in the
design and how they sound? The sound was one of the
things I liked about the Amatis that I've tried.
