    On
    February
    1 of 1963 the Buescher Band Instrument Company along with all of its inventories, tooling, factory space, and dealer contracts was purchased by H & A Selmer. One of the major reasons for this
    purchase
    was that Selmer planned to enter into saxophone manufacturing. The Buescher factory was already tooled for saxophone production and a great deal of past advertising and goodwill had gone into the Buescher saxophone since the 1920's. Furthermore, a dealer network was already established. In 1963, it was mostly a turn-key operation that Selmer felt they could greatly expand upon. The Selmer board and shareholders were also in
    acquisition
    mode. They had already
    purchased
    Harry Peddler & Sons in 1959 and acquired the Vincent Bach Corporation, Mount Vernon, New York in September of 1961.
    Production barely skipped a beat after the acquisition. In fact, Selmer retained most all of the Buescher factory workers. The post-Selmer Buescher saxophones are essentially Selmer Bundy saxophones. The Bundy line was marketed at the same time and the instruments were made side-by-side using many of the same parts.
