I know exactly what you mean about the hat etc - it has something of a look of an alpine horn about it. The keywork is basic inasmuch as it doesn't have several extra trill keys that you would expect on a full Oehler instrument, but I tend not to use those anyway (all my clarinets are Oehler type) but it seems very robust and well put together. I had a look around the internet for more info about it before I bought it and there wasn't a lot, but I found a flute by the same maker at https://collection.maas.museum/object/365247 on a museum site that says "Uebel's instruments such as flutes and clarinets appear to have been well respected in Eastern European orchestras at this time" so at least a bit of an endorsement. Anyway, I'm enjoying it apart from the frustration about the sound quality, hopefully now on the way to being sorted out.
