Are all oriental import instruments bad?
back to question 13) ANSWER: No, some are very well built and play with great tone and very good intonation. Cannonball instruments, for example, are all solidly built and play wonderfully. So it is important not to overlook any instrument simply because of the country or region where it was made. Far more important are the actual construction of the instrument and the easy availability of repair and replacement parts. When in doubt, ask a local technician about such things before buying the instrument.
