Re: Chinese Rosewood Clarinets ?

I've seen several under a few different names (and many more that seems about the same but not made of rosewood).

Generally they seem not so good but not completely awful. They have a bunch of "gizmos" (the new fashion barrels, etc.) but none that I've seen so far was as good as a basic student Yamaha, for example. Significantly less accurate in many ways.

I don't really understand the "no spares" problem. I don't need spare parts so often and getting ones from other (regular and known) manufacturers isn't that easy either. The only difference is maybe pivot screws, which I stock many for many different models. One usually fits or can be modified to fit. I consider this whole thing a non-issue. I guess it's different if you constantly see instruments with missing parts and have a supplier of those parts near you.

Re soft or hard keys, on the ones I've seen keys varies from very soft to very hard and/or springy. Sometimes on the same clarinet. The metal was the same, but e.g. some parts were much too thick, with a springy alloy, making it very hard to adjust. Other parts bent with very little force.

I wouldn't buy one, but I also don't think they look very nice.
