[AT] OT: Trombones

[Terry Welch]

Joe, not sure on this but I think that they might be part of Allied or Getzen. I know they bought out a couple of companies a few years ago. If I see the owner of the above companies I will ask him and get back to you. I have several pieces of horn making tools from the early 1900s to late 1800s. Came from the Frank Holton Company.(now LeBlanc) Elkhorn Wi. There are three horn companies in Elkhorn yet today.

I realize this has nothing to do with tractors, but it seems that somewhere on this list
is someone who knows a little about everything. My son recently decided to play the trombone
in an effort to help him practice, this weekend I bought him a nice shiny trombone at an auction
that was made by the Hoosier Instrument Company in Elkhart Indiana. In an effort to find out a little
about it, I have been unable to find out anything about the company after about an hour searching
on-line. I assume they were merged into some other big conglomerate, but I'm just curious to find out 

a little history. Does any on one the list know?


Enjoy, Joe
