- Bohland & Fuchs, Graslitz, Czech Republic, 1870-1945. Horn-u-Copia's Display of Makers (horn-u-copia.net)."Bohland and Fuchs (Graslitz, Czechoslovakia) are established as a partnership in 1870, following the firm of Gustavus Bohland, which had been founded 20 years earlier, and flourished until 1945 when the firm was nationalized. By 1925, they had a workforce of 500. They built a doublephon in 1891, a sub-contrass bass tuba which is the largest ever built in 1912, a double trombone, and a quarter-tone trumpet. ",
"Bohland & Fuchs was established in Graslitz in Bohmen, a part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire (therefore the German spelling: Graslitz). Thus, the early instruments by Bohland & Fuchs are all marked Austria. ",
"... The first Czechoslovakian republic existed from 1918 until 1938. Instruments from this era are signed Czechoslovakia. ... ",
"... In 1939 what was left of Czechoslovakia also became part of Germany, the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The few instruments from this German era (1938-1945) are signed Bohemia even though Graslitz did not belong to the protectorate. ... ",
"In 1945, after WWII, Sudetenland once again became Czechoslovakian and all musical instruments makers were centralized into one company. Amati (of Kraslice, Czech spelling of Graslitz). The new Czechoslovakian government did not want to be associated with things German, and most of the German population did flee to Germany. For example wind instrument makers the brothers Keilwerth, brass instrument makers Huttl and many craftsmen, for example, those forming Kuhnl & Hoyer. Therefore many early Keilwerth, K&H and other contemporary German brass instruments seem to be copies of Bohland & Fuchs brass instruments. ... ",

- (circa 1920-1930) Spezialkatalog für Musikinstrumente (brochure / PDF), Bohland & Fuchs Graslitz Böhmen A catalog covering the brass wind instruments of the famous musical instruments maker Bohland & Fuchs of Graslitz in Bohemia. The catalog must be from between 1918 and 1938 as the prices are shown in Czechoslovak Kc. Joyful reading for some of us:-)
