Difference in quality in products made in China?

Goofyfoot...I've been a professional musician and a professional goofyfoot (competitive pro longboard surfer) likely longer than you've been alive, and I strongly suggest you get out in the world a little more to learn what racist nonesense is all about. Thinking finger size has something to do with musical proficiency is weird (I know some 300 lb Hawaiian ukulele masters who might question your opinions), claiming this is common knowledge among some school of classical musicians simply insults classical musicians, and if you think objecting to racist stereotyping is political correctness, just spout that crap among some of my large handed Asian friends and be ready to duck. I don't know you, but if you're somebody who would actually say something like "you have nice fingers for violin LIKE ASIANS OFTEN DO", you've showed me all I need to know.

Well then Wolf-garcia you undoubtedly must be right. I can see by your responses that you've been involved in teaching classical violin and piano for 60 or so years. But since I have these ridiculous racist stereotypes, then I'll add these as well; Koreans typically have curly blonde hair and pigmies are normally 6 feet tall and it would be my racist perceptions to believe any differently. Get real.

I actually met a seven foot pygmy by the name of Nelson at LAX in 2009 while waiting for a connecting flight. He was with his Agent and informed me he just signed with the Laker's.

Well Audiozen, that doesn't at all make me feel warm and fuzzy. What a grave mis-justice.

I rest my case.
