Bauer Clarinets?

Has anyone here ever heard of this manufacturer? This ad for one on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1421596078

includes the claim that it "isn't a beginners clarinet." I'm sure this is b.s. since the specs listed later in the ad clearly show that it is (at best) a student model. I'm just curious about it since I've never heard of the manufacturer before, and by the name it doesn't sound like a Chinese "junk" clarinet. The seller's website also carries a bunch of cheap saxophones by the same mfgr:

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Hummm, I don't know but the price is up 219.95 and the reserve isn't met yet. Most of the student models have been going for 140 or less. I have never heard of it.

Dollars to donuts, this is some unplayable lawn ornament from the Xinghai works.

You would be better off punching holes in a garden hose than playing these, unless you want to send the repair guy's kids to private school.

Look closely. That is the minimum starting bid that the seller has set. *NO ONE* had bid on it yet.
