 Re: $26 (was $25) clarinet

Companies like Yamaha and Schreiber/Buffet may have factories and facilities in China, but they do have to maintain their reputation and have quality control in place. This is what sets them apart from Chinese companies making knock-offs by the millions and with any name anyone wants laser etched onto them (even Yamaha and Buffet counterfeits).

As far as the injection moulded joints for Buffet B12/Prodige and their predecessors (Evette, etc.), they were originally made in Germany and not France. I'd have thought it wouldn't be cost effective to injection mould joints in Europe to ship to China to then finish and send back - that's most likely done under one roof over in China to keep the costs competitive.

There was a programme shown a few years back where some UK companies had moved their production to China due to the lower production costs, only to then find the Chinese companies and especially their workforce are now expecting better pay, so the large factories producing goods gradually reduced their workers as wages went up as did shipping costs. Ultimately that meant it was no longer cost effective and production then returned to the UK.
