Gronitz news

Post by bisontuba »

Hi-
Received an mail tonight from The HornGuys. Included in it was the news that Dietrich Kleinehorst of Gronitz is retiring in June. I believe he/the company is looking for someone/another company to take it over/buy it out. FYI. I am sure Steve Ferguson has add'l info on Gronitz......

Also, apparently "Giddings and Webster" is now just "Giddings Mouthpieces."

These are crazy times... :roll: :tuba:

It's not a big shop (I've been there). Two good-sized rooms, and I only saw one other worker besides Dietrich.

Dietrich is working a deal with a small maker in Bavaria, not inked yet.
