Baltimore Brass expands to PA

Post by sdloveless »

It looks like Baltimore Brass is opening a store in Bloomsburg, PA under the management of Michael Parker. There goes all my money...

https://www.facebook.com/BaltimoreBrass ... XZyvxv4eXl

In case you don't, or won't, use Facebook:

In 1992, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tubist David T. Fedderly began selling tubas out of his basement in Maryland. His hard work, pedagogical insight, and commitment to customer service led to the creation of Baltimore Brass Company. In honor of David’s continued legacy, we are excited to announce a new chapter in this story. Baltimore Brass Company is expanding!

Our second location will open in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. Baltimore Brass Company Bloomsburg will open under the management of Michael Parker of Parker Mouthpieces. Michael brings years of expertise in the field as a musician and business owner with a distinct passion for assisting tuba, euphonium, helicon, and trombone instrumentalists find the best mouthpieces for their craft. We have no doubt that his knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm will guide this new venture.

One of the most exciting aspects of the new location is the unveiling of a private collection of brass instruments. At the behest of the owner, who believes instruments should be played rather than hidden behind glass, this will be a hands-on collection which he refers to as his “petting zoo”.. We will welcome musicians from beginner to expert to experience a rotating collection from rare and early models of keyed bugles, ophicleides and serpents to more modern five and six valve tubas
.
Business at our Catonsville location will continue to provide the customer focused experiences we are known for. We are grateful for the hardworking team there and look forward to sharing the stages of development at the new location as they happen. If you are attending the IWBC in Hartford this week, please stop by our booth and welcome Michael Parker to Baltimore Brass Company!

This is the extremely exciting part. I have been privy to just a tiny bit of this going on behind the scenes. Congrats and best of luck, BBCB!

Sorry! I got excited, too! I live equidistant between the two locations. It's the best of both worlds!
