Re: Made in China "Buffet:

Hi all, I've just come across this thread, while researching Buffet B12s generally. I have, over the past few years, been overhauling and restoring B12s for the student market. I like being able to take a filthy, gummed up student instrument, and turn it back to a beautiful, sparkling 'as new' instrument, with new pads and corks, for a new learner to enjoy.

But I've also been concerned by the Chinese fake B12s that seem to be increasing in numbers on Ebay again. I've reported some to Ebay, but they still keep coming. I'm always very careful in checking the instruments I buy, looking carefully at the photographs and descriptions. But it seems that it'll only be a matter of time before the b******s manufacturing these fakes realise that people are on to them, and change the logos that they're putting on to look exactly like the real thing. (The Chinese are renowned for faking logos of every description).

So my question is, when the logo becomes unrecognisable, are there any other signs that one could look for that will demonstrate clearly that a clarinet is not a genuine B12?
