Title: (x) Who is Rothchild?
Post by: attmann on April 14, 2006, 09:23:53 AM

Hello everyone,
I noticed that in some history charts Rothchild appears as the buyer. Being new to the club I wonder who he is/was. A store or a collector or a pure Alembic affcinado ??
Other than that I wonder how it can be determined how many owners an instrument had had so far?
Regards, Juergen

Rothchild was the distributor of our products in the  mid-late 1970s. They distributed a number of other musical products as well, Oasis comes to mind, a brand of instruments made by former Alembicer Gary Cooper.  
 
When you post a history request, I will always reveal how many registered owners there have been, if there have been any, even if it isn't requested. Afterall, it is a part of the instrument's history.
