Excuse me. I don't know a thing about the instruments but the place where the Moenning was built is probably Markneukirchen in the Vogtland area. That's in the ex-GDR near the Czech border. In Vogtland, there is a great tradition of wind instrument building. Firms such as Wurlitzer, Uebel, etc. come from here originally and many are still there.

Also our German distributors (for the Note Board) are located in Markneukirchen.
