Baltimore Brass Co. Closing

Sad news... this was just posted on their Facebook Page (post is copied below in case link isn't working/anyone can't access FB)

-----
As of October 31st, 2022 Baltimore Brass Company will be closing. This difficult decision comes as a result of the impact of the Pandemic and current rate of inflation. As we are currently exploring prospects for new ownership, we must accept that this may not be a reality. Owners of consignment instruments do not be concerned. Over the next few weeks you will all get a personal phone call from David Fedderly about how you would like your instrument handled and the several options you will have.

Thank you all for the support and friendship we have all shared for the past 30 years. This has been a great run.

Sincerely,

David Fedderly

Ouch! That is sad news. These are good people and carried good products. We'll see if they can work out a new owner. I surely understand how the combo of the pandemic and inflation could make it tough. (I just read today that many farmers are in deep trouble because of the high cost of fuel for their equipment, and I'm sure there are other effects beyond just seeing higher consumer prices.)

Thanks for passing on the news. I did not see it on FB yet.
