    Description

    Historical Background
    James Welsh Pepper was born in
    Philadelphia
    in 1853, and died in the same city on July 28, 1919. He was an
    American
    music publisher
    and
    musical instrument
    maker.
    [1]
    In 1876, Pepper founded a publishing house in his home city which printed music tutorial books and a magazine called
    Musical Times
    , which ceased production in 1912. Additionally, Pepper produced musical instruments such as
    drums
    until 1910, the year in which J.W. Pepper & Son was founded. In 1910, J.W. Pepper & Son ceased producing instruments and shifted entirely to importing them from Europe.
