[AT] OT: Trombones

[Larry D Goss]

Joe, there were lots of instrument companies in Elkhart in the early part of 
the 20th century and many are still located there.  Finding the history of 
an obscure one may be difficult, but not impossible.

Try some of the sources given here:

This is an announcement about an exhibit that ended last month, but the 
people involved may be able to point you in the right direction.
