		Also by this time, the German system bassoon, or Heckel system, was firmly established around the world, and by the turn of the century, the firm's competitors were already advertising their products by stating that they were based on the Heckel model.
		These were the pre WW II Graslitz bassoons, and the one he played that day impressed him enough that he encouraged the store to carry them on a regular basis.
		The Püchner family has certainly maintained the Graslitz tradition of playing instruments themselves, even though it is no longer a requirement for apprentices; in the third generation Walter was the co- founder of the Nauheim Music Association and played principal clarinet with them for nearly two decades and then switched to principal oboe.

	Horn-u-copia public forum discussing antique, obscure and out-of-production Brass Instruments
		There was Bruder, Adolf (1874-1916) Graslitz, Anton (1897-1820) Graslitz, Franz 1895-1925 Graslitz, Ignaz 1838-1914 Wein, Johann 1770-1944 Ofen, Josef 1903-1945 Graslitz, Wenzel 1860-1945 Graslitz, Stowasswers Sohne, Wenzel 1860-1945 Graslitz.
		But it does seem like there were a bunch of related Stowassers with workshops in Graslitz.
		So, it is my assumption that after they were nationalized, the parent company probably owned all the name of the earlier companies.
