In fact, they worked together in 1885 as "York and Holton" in Grand Rapids, just prior to Holton's moving to Chicago in 1886. They had a working relationship until at least 1906, and as you point out, quite possibly were the source for many of Holton's larger instrument parts.Chuck(G) wrote:All of the large branches and bell measure the same as the York. I can only guess that either Holton was making parts for York back then or vice-versa.
