Enne, mijn baggies komen uit midden jaren 70, toen was Bach nog Bach!
Nee hoor, vanaf 1961 is Bach al niet meer van Bach maar van Selmer, wat nu Conn-Selmer heet en weer van Steinway is.
Citaat:
During his career Vincent served as president of the National Association of Band Instrument Manufacturers (NABIM). In 1961, at the age of 71, the company was placed for sale. Despite receiving twelve other offers for the company, some with even higher bids, Vincent chose The Selmer Company. Having developed a close relationship with Selmer and George Bundy over the years, he felt that Selmer would best expand upon his foundations. All tooling and machinery was moved to Selmer’s operations in Elkhart, Indiana, with Vincent assisting in the training. Original designs and blue prints have been carefully preserved in manufacturing the sound choice of professionals.
Theo overdrijft altijd een beetje, en met leadpipes van Bach nog iets meer....
