Differences from one to another? Differences compared to non-Chinese cimbassi? Differences compared to 5 years ago?

I mean differences between labels. Dillon vs Wessex vs. O'Malley vs. Jimboa etc.

They're all made in the same Jin Bao factory in China, they play the same. Good entry point for someone with no experience on the instrument, but when compared to a better-built European instrument, it's not even close. I'd pay $2k for one, I see Wessex wants $6,700 for theirs, no way I'd spend that kinda dough ...
