Thanks a lot again.

Sinfonia!!! So why everybody likes to say it was Musima?!

Thanks a lot Stefan. So Otwin remained independent until 1973. Right?

Excuse me for writing in english.

Does anyone has trusty data or at least an aproximation about what year Musima incorporated the Otwin brand? It's usually admited that it was around 1973, but would it be earlier?

Thanks.

Hi Martin, Laminated and pressed tops have always constant thickness all over the plates, while carved tops usually (not always) have different thickness due to top's graduation.

I agree. This one looks a western made. The Fasan speculations makes some sense.

Hi Stefan, As far as I know nobody succeed trying to talk to the Windisch family about their former family bussiness. They're reluctant to do it and and seem to be bothered if anyone is asking.

Are you talking about these supposedly Hoyer with a pickup?
