Maybe I should clarify more.
The "flimsy" keys have nothing to do with being easy or difficult to adjust accurately. It's not my first language so maybe "flimsy" is not the exact word? I simply mean less force is needed to bend them compared with most other clarinets.
Re the loose keys, I've checked eight Rossi clarinets. They were mostly pretty new and bought separately at different times by different people, etc. On each of them, most keys mounted on pivot screws had play. To me this is something I'm considering if I was looking for a new clarinet, but I guess I can accept that it could be just a very weird coincidence...
In contrast to what bmcgar suggested, as far as how they play, I liked them immediately the first time I tried one. IMO the criticism is worth mentioning but not a reason not to buy one.
