No gigs, no money to by horns. Many industries are affected and many are losing their jobs

Re: Conn-Selmer Layoffs
Damn.
I've been bracing for some big shoes to drop like this - really punctuates how bad this is going to be globally. Performances & venues suspended - musicians already weren't known for having an easy time in the marketplace. Instrument sales and production in the tank.
Then there's the snowball effects:
No new students in the pipeline. Out of work musicians sell off their instruments, flooding the market with used and further depressing new horn sales and production. The aftermarket follows...
Hard to imagine what this industry even looks like on the other side of this.
Just, damn.
