 Re: Chinese Rosewood Clarinets ?

I've spoken to several professional techs about these. Opinions seem to be mixed, a couple said that they didn't like working on them because there are no spares available and that the quality varies enormously from instrument to instrument. One said he just didn't work on them. When the Chinese first started to produce clarinets the tuning was frequently awful, but that aspect seems to have improved.
A while back I sorted out some bent keywork on a Chinese clarinet bought from Aldi. The keywork was so soft that it was a bit like a bendy toy, but the tuning was excellent. Side-by-side with a Yamaha C100 I really couldn't see much difference physically. Personally I avoid them, likewise those from India.
