Globalization :( Makes me consider the history of a city. Different periods of immigration roll through and add their culture and know how to create marvelous unique environment(vibe) to visit and experience, feel. Here we have manufacturing of musical instruments starting in central Europe moving west around the planet. The golden age of Chinese musical instruments shines over the horizon a bit brighter every day. :wink:

Thanks for posting. I have 4 horns here that are Elkhart Conn, one is exceptional, two are workhorses, and my Director trumpet playable but retired to the wall.

Edit, make that 5 horns almost forgot the 25J :oops:

How could you forget the biggest of all? :) Nice old film, I'd never seen that one before.

I'm amazed at how much automation there was so long ago. Wow!

Kind of makes me wonder what the safety record was like... :|
