Re: [Harp-L] How did it become "Marine Band"?

[joe leone <3n037@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In 1896, the 'President's own..U.S. Marine Corps Band' was very  
popular and they toured the world. Hohner was capitalizing on that  
and made many products with U.S. connotations. Like 'American Ace',  
Old Standby' etc. ALL embossed i English. Btw, Hohner was a German  
co. at the time.  lolol
