| Heard that Conn-Selmer (now owns Leblanc) will discontinue the Martin line. Also heard that they Lebland only sold about 35 or less of the Arturo trumpet in the last 12 months. Also heard that Conn-Selmer let go of almost 200 office, sales and factory personnel recently. I know a guy who plays the Maynard trumpet (ONLY ONE I'VE SEEN in last five years) it's out of tune and not too well made.
Too bad, as Leblanc used to be a good compnay. Looks like Steinway messed everything up. |
