Is this the *same* as Wessex, or a *clone* of Wessex? (That's a real question...)

It is not the same. I saw this ophicleide at Frankfurt Music Fair last year. It looks fatter and has more broad tone than the Wessex. Also has saxophone type key guards. Where as the Wessex is a reproduction of 19th century French design, this is more of a modern interpretation. It is made in China, but not by Jinbao.

Incredible low price. Wessex production cost is more than this sale price

Ah, cool. Thanks Jonathan! Kind of crazy to think there are *multiple* new ophecleides being built in the world today!
