Re: Doreen Ketchens on her $750 Korean clarinet

I'm sure they are decent instruments and it's nice to see alternatives to what's already on offer, only the thing that gets me on their site is they make the claims the Shine ST2 is "The only student clarinet that has auxiliary Eb key" or "Extra Eb Key - First on a Student Instrument (ABS Body)" which simply isn't true as Amati, Schreiber/Buffet and Yamaha have offered the LH Ab/Eb lever on their plastic entry level models and I suspect there were or are others.

It's still a shame they and none of the established or big name makers offer well-made and affordable plastic C clarinets with 17/6 (or even 18/6 keywork with the LH Ab/Eb lever) as I'm sure they'd be popular.
