Under the marketing schemes of George Bundy, Selmer eventually bought out all these companies, slapping their names on them. This all started back in the 60's and is still happening today.

Not kidding. That's why Buescher still isn't business today, nor is "Conn" or The Martin, etc. But Selmer USA bought out all the companies you listed.
