Their main brands are Melton and Meinl Weston, with current instruments bearing both logos. Despite the engraving A Division of Getzen which appears on some instruments sold in the United States, the company is part of the Buffet Crampon group.[citation needed]
In 1991, Gerhard A. Meinl helped found the TA Musik group to take over Vogtländische Musikinstrumentenfabrik, the B&S brand in East Germany. The group became JA Musik GmbH, and managed the Meinl-Weston, B&S, Scherzer, and Hans Hoyer brands of band instruments. In December 2012 it became part of Buffet Crampon.[1]
