Re: LeBlanc paperclip contra models?

As far as I know, any modern copy of a paperclip is made by JinBao and branded by the seller. There's one named "Concerto" being sold by a music shop in Germany that has both nickel and silver plated models, Ripamonti lists one on their site that I believe has to be the JinBao (though I haven't actually asked Flavio yet), there's a music store in Spain carrying them also... I haven't tried one to know for sure. I know one person that owns and regularly plays one, and he likes it a lot. Some friends have a saxophone shop and have their own line of JinBao saxes... we discussed the idea of getting one in to try, but nobody was in the financial position to take the risk in case it sucked and we couldn't re-sell it... My concern is the quality of the metal of the body and keywork. And I'm sure it would need a complete overhaul straight from the factory to get everything set up well... but until I actually try one I won't know for sure.
