But their copyright notice is charming: "Copyright 1910-2004". This is not just some fly-by-night outfit set up to exploit cheap labour, but a company proud of its history.

What is interesting is that they are still making obsolete designs: horns with three piston valves, bass trombones in G (not pictured, but presumably with a wooden handle to work the slide). These would have been the military instruments required under the British Empire. But it's not quite so simple, because their oboes are all conservatoire, not thumbplate as usually played in Britain.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
