jdbassplayer,
you are right, this must be a completely different instrument! Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention. Checking on alibaba.com, however, one with this design pops up for pretty much the same price - 60$...
Seems like the "HCL-106E" has been redesigned at some point, there are offers with pictures of the pad cup attached to the key ring, others have it detached.
I actually plan on rebuilding this instrument. I've already had to invest a lot of work into my Amati A, which by the way has even worse pads and it's kind of my hobby. Seeing what terrible instruments (not of chinese make!), I've had in my hands already, I'm still optimistic with this one.
gatto,
this information is not 100% verified and I might even be wrong. However, I can very well renember someone who knew more of this stuff telling me that Buffet at least has their keys silverplated there. Officially, the lower end models are either completely made there or assembled there, with the bodies being made in france - depending on the model
