A trombone player bought one of those bright green things (a JinYin clarinet) 'because it looks nice' - it makes a clarinet sound - I'll grant it that, but the barrel is so short (around 62mm) it has to be pulled right out for the thing to be in tune with itself. And the keys bend just by looking at them. I'm not Uri Geller, but I didn't realise I had telekinetic powers until I looked at one of these - adjusting screws worked themselves loose, long Bb wouldn't stay in adjustment, same with the crow's foot.

As for the low density plastic it's made from, it'll probably disintegrate in sunlight.

So for a beginner having such a short barrel isn't doing them any favours, and if they do get a B12 a few months down the line, they're going to have sore chops playing up to pitch after the slack-jawed playing they're used to on one of these. And any teacher in their right mind will not recommend one at all.
