I have not encountered those particular brands. The quality of some of the unknown brands is absolutely amazing, though. I mean it is amazing anyone would actually attempt to play one, muchless pay real money.
I have encountered instruments with no marking whatsoever(no brand name, no serial number, no nothing). I have had the pleasure of seeing not one, but two, Jeffrey clarinets.
I wonder if it might be interested for this thread to come up with a list of "Offbrands That We Know and Love."
