Question - Was Resonite ever an copyrighted tradename to Selmer OR Leblanc [in my recollection] or another, or was it always a "generic term" as it is now ??? Nylon is a good example of the loss of trademark status, because of wide-spread, common usage . To me, it means a "resinous ebonite", indicating a greater flexibility than the OLDER, hardened [natural]rubber, prob. being made by chemical hardening [vulcanizing is an old term] of a SYNTHETIC "elastomer". Research needed ? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
