Does anyone happen to know the address of the B&S factory?

The B&S factory is somewhere in what used to be known as East Germany. That's
all I know.

Should be somewhere around Markneukirchen or Klingenthal / Voigtland
(close to the Czech border). I´ll ask my woodwind specialist for the
adress next time I see him.

Hello.
The headline tells me, that there is someone searching for
the address of B&S.
Write to:

Vogtlaendische Musikinstrumentenfabrik GmbH
