[AT] OT: Trombones

[jahaze at aol.com]

I knew you guys would know everything!? So now I'm intrigued, I figured this was just another horn that could be bought on the street (not some antique), any ideas how long ago they were in business?? On a semi-tractor related note, my son's name is Case, and both he and his younger brother Oliver played me a trombone duet on Sunday...I think even the dogs were scared..



Enjoy, Joe

Joe I think you got your answer. I will not have to ask the Getzen boys when I 
see them. Joe one of them might have been hunting right near you. When I was 
growing there was a sign on the outskirts of Elkhorn that read Brass Band 
Instrurment Capital of the World. My how things have changed.

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
