Petter used to own a music store, and had been a VMI\/B&amp;S dealer. While sorting through his attic he happened across a couple of things he thought might be of interest to me.<\/p>\n<p>This B&amp;S Medusa saxophone dealer prospectus was what we, as a potential buyers, could look at at a dealer&#8217;s shop, to see what the various Series 2006 options were. This way, if a dealer didn&#8217;t have what we were specifically looking for, it could be ordered directly from VMI for us.<\/p>\n<p>For you European saxophone lovers out there, who, like me, were saddened by the demise of yet another fine, European saxophone manufacturer, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. If you own one of these fine saxes already\u2014or are just doing research on a used horn you are considering\u2014this dealer prospectus fills an hole in the previously-available research.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what brings you to looking at this interesting bit of B&amp;S saxophone history, we all owe our sax-friendly, colleague in Oslo a serious thank you for generously sending this to me.\u00a0The fact that I got it, meant that it could be shared with the sax-playing world.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Petter! Your generosity is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/modern-saxes\/vogtlandische-musikinstrumentenfabrik-gmbh-markneukirchen-vmi\/series-2006-medusa-artist-models\/bs-medusa-saxophone-dealer-prospectus\/front-cover\/\">Front cover<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/modern-saxes\/vogtlandische-musikinstrumentenfabrik-gmbh-markneukirchen-vmi\/series-2006-medusa-artist-models\/bs-medusa-saxophone-dealer-prospectus\/history-photos-of-g-h-huller-medusa-altos\/\">A very brief history &amp; photos of\u00a0 G.H.
