Great pictures. I wonder if the instrument play-testing room is also on such a large scale. [tongue]

I think I spotted 1,389 OSHA violations.

Incredible trip back in time. The guy in the strapping dept. looks directly into the camera - it's arresting.

Puts quite a different perspective on "life" and "work" as we know it now. Would love to see images of the Buffet/Selmer factories.

That's the fist company I've seen that admits to having a department specifically for crooks.  :)

I had no idea that Conn was such a huge operation. An industry, not a garage shop.

Back in the days... could you imagine how much progress we've been through? electricity, independent machines; if i had to start from scratch without outside information, i wouldn't know where to begin (if i didn't know anything about technology or design) Major props to the founders of deisign and craftsmanship.

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
-Walden; Henry Thoreau
