I believe they had a problem with the name, not having the rights to it.imperialbari wrote:What about the line of German made York brasses from earlier in this millenium?

I think that the problem may have been that multiple people owned the name and none of them had INTERNATIONAL rights...

That's the one that Buffet now owns and I would assume it's what their trademark refers to.imperialbari wrote:What about the line of German made York brasses from earlier in this millenium?

The German line of York brasses was not at all related to Buffet. Rather it was an alternative continuation of the Besson line than the one carried by Buffet. The German York project folded because it never became profitable.

It didn't start out related to Buffet, but it ended up that way. It folded because Buffet bought Keilwerth Schreiber out of bankruptcy and discontinued everything that was a duplication of their existing products.imperialbari wrote:The German line of York brasses was not at all related to Buffet.

That's the way some people interpreted the Old English "Y", claiming the horns were by "J.W. Dork & Sons"...

Bat (fu 蝠) The bat is a symbol of happiness and joy. The Chinese for bat (fu 蝠) sounds identical to the word for good fortune(fu 福) making bats a popular Chinese rebuses. Five bats together represent the 'Five Blessings' (wufu 五福): long life, wealth, health, love of virtue and a peaceful death.Tabor wrote:蝙蝠

But, getting back on topic, this is a good looking horn, Jonathan. With Wessex and Eastman coming out with 6/4 tubas... looks like there's going to be a pretty decent market for those horns covering a range of budget options. Will we be entering a 6/4 renaissance?
