Bob,

for what it's worth, I own two Amatis, a 211 (wooden with plastic bell) B and a 251 (plastic with wooden barrel/bell) C clarinet. I'm very happy with either, the intonation is consistent and I have no complaints about the workmanship. "Wet" holes have leather pads, the keywork is solid, maybe a bit on the soft side. The 211's upper joint's tenons are metal-sleeved - a very sturdy student horn. The only thing I did unto it was to replace the thumbrest with an adjustable one. I'd recommend it to anyone on a budget and not willing to shop for a used/overhauled one.
