Chuck... yes I knew that they'd purchased Schilke in the past (and, I suspect, Getzen and possibly Yamaha). I was just being a little "tongue in cheek". It's quite a testament to what a small, private maker like Leigh is doing to pull this one off though. Maybe I'll even get to hear them: I've just confirmed my tickets to Munich for next summer.
