tuba history: who were Sander and Sandner?

Post by jtm »

There's a recent for-sale listing for a Scherzer CC tuba that's inscribed with "Scherzer Inh. Sandner". I have a similar tuba that is inscribed "Scherzer Inh. Sander".

Were Sander and Sandner different people or companies? Were they the same person spelled differently for export vs. local sale? Or something else? And either way, who was this person or people?

Thanks!

I think Louis Kline (Berlinertuba) has posted about this before, either here or on his excellent website.

If not, I bet Bob Tucci knows all about this, if someone wants to politely ask him.

Sehr geehrter Herr Robert Tucci,

... also, was zum Teufel ist das mit dieser Sander/Sandner-Scheiße?

I restored a C (and a B-flat...??) Sander for Richard Brown YEARS ago.

Either one or both of them featured bottom bows that were SUPER thick brass...

...maybe a millimeter, a sixteenth, or even thicker !!!
