That "innovative bridge key design" is causing all sorts of problems!
I do like the kid's enthusiasm.

Clearly a problem with the tenon cork at the bottom of the top joint, NOT a mechanism problem (which we never saw or had described.........but I'll assume a "Selmer style" bridge where there is no fault taper).

The camera operator would do much better if they could chew gum with their mouth closed as well.

The young man has a future in entertainment.
No one, not even a 12-year-old would have actually posted this if he had been serious? Would he? He actually shakes it to get the bottom joint to fall off the first time.
What clarinet does he say is a typical beginning clarinet? A bon-something? Then he "slips" at the end and starts to name the bon-something instead of Mendini.
I can't be sure from the website (the Mendini clarinet exists - made by a company called Cecilio) but it looks as though the company is based in California but has recently opened a plant in China. Not sure which of those countries "nobody's heard about..."
From what I can find online, it's every bit as bad a clarinet as the young man demonstrates.

Judging by his other reviews, I think they're mostly meant to be humorous.

He's clever, although he lapses into straightforward honesty at the end when he gives it a rating of "1?...2?" and chucks it at the floor.
At least the mystery (for me) is cleared up about the bon-something clarinet in the other video - it's the bontempi.

This is a great video. It's really worth watching all the way to the end. I'm serious
