Re: Made in China "Buffet:

I know the Chinese are replicating items that are made elsewhere in the world. However, if one does a good enough job with correct equipment, some things can be well made in many other countries, including China, as they may have been in their original birth-country. Many Clarinets are made in America, and I believe they originated in France. Ridenour has clarinet bodies made in China out of hard rubber and sent to him to be assembled and finished into clarinets. These have be reviewed by several that found the Ridenour clarinets equal if not exceed some of their very best examples of clarinets from anywhere in the world.

I stumbled across this thread when I was doing some research on a Buffet Clarinet B12 I have on my watch list on eBay. As such, since this is again prevalent on eBay, I believe it is worthwhile to dig up "old bones" or threads as they are and give light to what is happening in the world of mass sales and online bidding. Not only could these things be found on ebay, but it is entirely possible that they could find their way into flea markets and some shops with an exaggerated price tag, way more than the $157.00 they are sold for (7/2012) to "appear" as righteous. What better way to throw one off is to reverse that old adage "you get what you pay for" and if one pays "more" then it would appear to be ok. Get what I am saying? They may only cost $157 on ebay but may end up at other places like Craigslist, flea markets, swap shops, etc selling at $800 or more as "genuine".
