I'm sure some of you get the WWBW emails, so you would have received this news too, but I was surprised to see this in my In box this AM.
It seems that the name Bundy is back. Did anyone know this was in the works? Anyone know who is making them? What company they're now connected with? (Still Selmer & whoever they are now?) What country they're from?
I just love the history that WWBW provides. Makes me all sentimental and misty for my Bundy tenor from grade 8 band. :cry:
They say:
But the important info, the specs for the horns include:
Standard Features:
Body: Clear lacquered Yellow Brass
Keys: Nickel Silver
Pads: Premium Tanned Leather Pads with Domed Plastic Resonators
Adjustment: Adjustment Screws on Right and Left Hand Keys
Mechanism: Stainless Steel Screws
Case: Hard-Shell ABS Case
You can check out the Bunday BAS 300 alto for yourself. It's only $899.99.
(Is it just me, or does it resemble the YAS student models in appearance of the keyguards and model numbers?)

George Bundy moved to Elkhart, Indiana from New York City in 1927 after purchasing the H & A Selmer music store from Henri and Alexandre Selmer. A clarinet student of Alexandre Selmer, Bundy began working at the store in 1909. By 1911, George Bundy was in charge of the store, which he then purchased in 1927. In 1941, George Bundy created the Bundy line of instruments specifically for students. High quality, durable, reliable instruments with the Bundy name were quickly popular, and by 1948 more musicians were beginning their musical journey with a Bundy than all others combined. Today, the name Bundy is the most widely recognized name in student instruments worldwide. Begin your exploration of the wonderful world of music with a new Bundy instrument.
