There is a lot more to B&H/Besson's collapse than what is in the article - I expect a great deal of it will come out eventually. The incompetence was simply astonishing.

Just for fun (and with that article as a reference guide) does anyone fancy a guess at how many years during B&H/Besson's instrument making the company made a profit on their brass instruments?

It is a shame to see a company like that fold, but the instruments have been going downhill in quality for about 25 years - in many ways it was a relief when it finally happened.
