Ridenour TR147 Clarinet, quality

I bought a Ridenour TR147 Clarinet new and it arrived today.

When I first played it, the bottom half of the clarinet just doesn't play! I realise that the one of the pad is too high. When that is fixed, it plays.

It is a very musical instrument, plays nicely.

However, the instrument itself has some rough edges with clear signs of being moulded and but sculpted clearly. Some of the edges around some pads are rough. The corks are not very good quality IMO compared to by Buffet. The keys are really soft and slightly bendy too.

Whats your opinion? Are the Ridenour 147 clarinet low cost with its build quality to compensate?
