Kalmus is in Florida. Before you get Kalmus parts, be aware that
what you get can be very suitable, but it can also be full of
errors, and 150 years out of date.

Kalmus publishes nothing. They simply find editions whose copyrite
has expired and reprint them unaltered under a new publisher's name.
Now in many cases, this is perfectly satisfactory. In other cases,
(the Beethoven triple concerto, for example), what you get is
somewhat unusable.

Their only signficant advantage over any other publisher, is
price.
