You confirm they have redesigned it. If so it might be the older model john4256 adviced against, allowing their last version to be worth buying. Though I am not sure how to interpret their offer with a 14 day money back guarante and their optional extended warranty...

Have you tried any of the two versions?

Yea I noticed that too about the non existing bell key. They probably chose that design due to simplicity and durability, still I would prefer having the vent key on the bell and a shorter instrument. Their design also requires a longer case.

This chineses low C bass clarinet seems to differ from most others out there as it has a sixth RH little finger lever wheras the excluded third thumb key can be easily added afterwards by attaching one to the rod for low D that runs laterally to the rods for low C# and C. Having three thumb keys from the beginning, as on most other chinese bass clarinets, leaving you with only five RH little finger keys is an inferiror alternative as it is much harder to ad a sixh RH lever.
