    Historical Background
    In 1872,
    Carl Fischer
    emigrated from Germany and opened his musical instrument repair shop in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. Noticing that many of his customers were searching for instrumental arrangements of well-known works that didn't exist, Fischer began creating and reproducing arrangements, which led him into the music publishing business. Carl Fischer became the pre-eminent publisher of music for concert band composers such as
    Percy Grainger
    ,
    John Philip Sousa
    and the famous transcriptions of
    Erik W. G. Leidzén
    and Mayhew Lake.
    Carl Fischer also was a musical instrument dealer, and imported wooden flutes made by Emil Rittershausen, Berlin Germany, from the 1890s to 1914. During this early period Carl Fisher was also the sole U.S. agent for Besson instruments, but also imported stenciled brass instruments from Courtois, Alexander, and Bohland & Fuchs.

    In 1910 Fischer won the importation rights for woodwinds manufactured by
    Buffet-Crampon
    of France. In 1929 the
    C.G. Conn
    Ltd. corporation acquired the musical instrument department from the company, maintaining the Carl Fischer retail operations as a consortium between Conn and the music publisher under the Carl Fischer name. Instruments from various leading manufacturers of the period were sold under the
    Carl Fischer
    house brand.
