[AT] OT: Trombones

[Mike Atwell]

I know that Getzen bought out Hoosier. Elkhart is the band instrument
capital of the world.

Don't ask me how I know this. When you get this old, you just know things,
unless you forget them.

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
