[Trombone-l] Laskey goes global

[Craig Parmerlee]

What does this mean?  The Kanstul website shows no indication of 
shutting down.  If BAC acquired the inventory, wouldn't that bear the 
Kanstul name?

I wonder what would be the point of acquiring the products without the 
name.  I could see acquiring the tooling at the right price.  Kanstul 
made a lot of marching brass and bugles.  If BAC wanted to carry on in 
that market, then the tooling would be the key thing.  But the last time 
I visited BAC, they certainly didn't have the scale for that.  It was a 
relatively small workshop making horns one at a time.  Maybe that has 
changed a lot in recent years.

Or maybe the game plan is to keep the Kanstul name alive with a Chinese 
plant building the horns.  In that case, I would have expected the 
tooling to go to the China plant.  This isn't making a lot of sense to me.

Anybody have any further insights here?
