Thomann clarinets

Hi everyone,

I know this topic isn't as interesting for those from the US as it is for those from the EU, however, Thomann has really been upping their game.
As far as the Boehm system is concerned, their own brand now covers all over the important clarinets, from bass to eb.
The newly released (albeit not yet available) composite Low C bass "BCL-C synthetic" looks particularly promising. It's the first non-wood bc to feature a right hand pinky low D key, which I think is brilliant, plus if you check the pictures , the thumb keys and register key are very different from your typical chinese bc, too.
I'm fairly sure their new eb clarinet also features significant differences compared to other chinese eefers (even the wooden ones). In both cases, it seems Thomann did a significant amount of design and development on these horns.
Lastly, I've recently tried their cheap beginner's clarinet "SCL-25" and was deeply impressed. Decent padding, good silver plating and actually great intonation for that price. Even the included mouthpiece is quite usable. And then there's a slightly better composite b-clarinet, the "SCL-65" which I suppose performs even better.
I was pretty astonished, since I honstly haven't yet seen such a good beginner horn at such a price. Since nobody on these forums really talks about these instruments, I thought I might start this thread. Check them out on their website.

Best regards
Christian
