Thomann Glockenspiel THGS2.5

I was expecting a Thomann branded instrument, even if it was built by another company. The branding on the instrument is a company called Haosen, it appears from Taiwan. This info is not clearly articulated on the Thomann website under product details. I paid extra believing I was getting a German made product. Could have saved myself the import fees by buying this Taiwanese product stateside. Sounds decent and the case and stand seem good. Mallets are not very good, however; very light and tone quality suffers using them. Overall ok, just disappointed that I received something different than I had expected.
