Vincent Bach - Division of the Magnavox Company

When was Bach a division of Magnavox?

according to Wikipedia

The era of H&A Selmer as an independent company ended in 1970, with its purchase by the British electronics firm Magnavox.[2] It was sold to Philips Electronics in 1975, then to the investment firm Integrated Resources in 1989. With the 1993 bankruptcy of Integrated Resources, Selmer was sold to the investment firm Kirkland Messina and reorganized as Selmer Industries, Inc., with The Selmer Company name used for its instrument manufacturing operations.

And now they are owned by Conn-Selmer which is owned by Steinway (I think).

Kinda... Yes it is the Steinway corp, but Conn-Selmer bought Steinway and uses the name (more brand recognition from Steinway than Conn).

I thought it was something like that. When I worked for King in Eastlake it was UMI.

King was once owned by Seeburg, the juke box company. Kinda weird, like when AMF (makers of pool tables, bowling equipment, snow skis, golf clubs, etc.) owned Harley Davidson...
