The most obvious construction difference will likely be a dangerously thin bell.

I overhauled a Thein trombone bell a few year ago. Buffing it to a mirror shine in prep for a fresh coat of epoxy lacquer was an exercise in zen. That thing dented if you stared at it too hard.

I had the opportunity to play this instrument. The hype is true. By far the best cimbasso I have ever played. Amazing!
