Just to clarify... the email I sent to Hans Pizka was marked as a PRIVATE EMAIL, and was not posted to the list. Also, I DID NOT write the quoted section below - I certainly believe that reliable and high quality parts CAN be made in the USA. My comment to Hans was that perhaps the Yamaha quality

Re: [Hornlist] Berlin Yamaha's (Osmun)

You said some things, which are absolutely true except in details. You should show me a cutting tool, which holds for 600 valve sets. No way. The good old masters, who work here in Germany, use very good machines, but do not make mass production. So they have time to re-adjust the tools, to re-s

Re: [Hornlist] Berlin Yamaha's (Osmun)

What are high quality parts & what are low quality parts ? What is the difference in the making process ? Are they produced or processed differently ? Please explain that regarding the single parts for brass instruments. Is there a difference in machining ? What are the prefabricated parts ? Be

Re: [Hornlist] Berlin Yamaha's (Osmun)

Do you still think, Japanese factories of quality products produce junk parts ? Their failure factor is the same as everywhere in the industrialized world, if not less. Do not make the mistake, thinking about other nations products as if they had not improved things during the last 30 or 40 yea

And maybe a circumvention of more or less secret trade quotas. The Brass Bulletin had a feature series on US brass makers a decade or so ago. Back then the US Yamaha factory told, that its contribution made up about 70% of the combined value of the instruments sold. Klaus on 23.11.02 22:00, Prof
