Re: Made in China "Buffet:

Hi all ,
My fake Chinese Buffet finally arrived !

In the meantime I bought my wife the Yamaha 450 that I should have done in the firsts place . It's probably the right instrument for her level anyway .

Looking at this fake buffet objectively, having pretty much gotten over my disgust over the whole business . It kind of apitimizes how bizarre the Chinese can be . This instrument has enough evidence of good craftsmanship that I imagine that if whoever made it had invested less in perfecting the Buffet logo , and more in sourcing some decent keywork and just going that extra mile , they could be proudly marketing their own brand of decent instruments for a competitive price on the market . The wooden body is finely crafted with no flaws or cracks( well.... Not yet ! ) . It's either grenadilla or ebony . It seems to play in tune and the sound is rich and fairly balanced . The keywork is difinitly Chinesey . Heavy spring action ,a stingy layer of Crome over only God knows what metal and lacking precision.
