A family owned business, the E. K. Blessing company was begun by a German toolmaker in Elkhardt, Indiana at the turn of the century. The company has produced fine brass instruments for themselves as well as other companies for the last 90 years. From father to sons, the experience and quality of instrument building has been passed down.
