Several typos I noticed after the fact (of course!)
First, Rusk was a member of the Milwaukee Symphony, not Mr. Daellenbach.
With that said, I did not spell Mr. Daellenbach's name correctly in the last line.
Other corrections should read:
In a conversation I had with Mr. Daellenbach, [he told me] the Getzen was the tuba York could have built. Mr. Rusk was the first [to] recycle the old York parts.
Robert Getzen's grandsons (not sons) are the people I believe currently run the company.
In regards to this comment:
1995- Canadian Brass sells rights to Getzen. Mr. Dallenbach says this occured in 1998 when they went back to Yamaha, but Getzen says 1995, so who knows?
Was there a period of time when they played Getzen instruments after the Canadian Brass series but before the Yamaha days?
