Key plating looks good ... no hinge tubing needs swedging. Tight fit everywhere.

Very quiet key action.

Alloy used for keys seem to be very strong!

These are brand new instruments, so I am sure microscopic details will improve. They are 99.45% there on QC (better than Ivory Soap).

Of course, I take away a lot of QC percentage points for wood that looks like it might split wide open any minute!

I had an intermediate (well known) clarinet shipped into a local music store about 5-6 years ago. I was interested in it because I liked the way this brand's keys fit my hands and I wanted a back up clarinet. The clarinet cost as much as a Lyrique 576, as I discovered later...

When I saw the instrument I didn't even play it. The wood looked like Yellow Pine, cut with a chainsaw and stained with shoe polish. The soldering and plating on the keys were constructed by vision impaired, intoxicated, first day on the job workers! I kid you not! I really felt sorry for the manufacturer... Gee whiz! A disgrace! (brand and model withheld for obvious reasons ...)

Buffet and Selmer Paris does a good job on key fit and finish. Seems to be some issues, according to some service technicians posts ... maybe just minor things, more a design glitch ... don't want anyone to lose their MOJO.

Some are gaining MOJO!

Once again, I don't work for or know anyone at Ridenour Clarinet Products, or paid or compensated to love or hate their stuff.
