Beginner Saxes Conn-Selmer plant closing

[LostCircuits]

I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about the article from post #27. The plant closing was used as a pretext to make a political statement. Whether the politics are true or not is irrelevant.

In current times it is almost impossible to separate daily life from politics. But when I first reported - after the news broke, it was right after the introduction of the Conn Stellation and all the talk about having a US-made saxophone again. Not to mention the folks behind it, some of their personal stories and their pride in the product.

Those were the folks I was thinking about and concerned about when the cold shower hit. Like, we know some of those people, what will happen to them now?

And then, of course it made some political waves but they were never intended to become center point. So, if you read the story, try to think about the lives affected and the sad fact that a US-manufactured saxophone project bit the dust.

That's really all.

Well, we disposed of the "manufactured in US" claim rather quickly, if you remember.

Yes but that doesn't really change the gist of the story.
