The Ethnic Clarinet

I know several people who have complained about the absolute poor quality of some of these instruments. They have said to avoid them, period. The G (SOL) clarinets that seem to play well for people and to be worth the money are the Amati, and even better, the Karl Hammerschmidt "Klingson" models in G. All the pros seem to play the Amati's and Hammerschidt's. I've owned both brands.
I owned an Amati and sold it to a friend because I liked the Hammerschmidt G that I now own. I like it better because it is the "mono do" (no patent C#) and no upper rings, no lower trill key model. For me, its sound is better. However, some of my friends prefer the Amati because of its "diplo do" (patent C#) and rings and extra keys. It's all a matter of choice.
Here's a picture with my Amati G klarino that I sold on the left:
