Bublitz Case Company
The Bublitz Case Company was a manufacturer of musical instrument cases in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Assets of the Bublitz Case Company were bought by G. Leblanc Corporation, a manufacturer of musical instruments in Kenosha, Wisconsin.〔“Conn-Selmer's Donation-From Kenosha to Vermillion: Preserving the Leblanc Legacy” by Margaret Downie Banks, National Music Museum Newsletter, Volume XXXVI, Number ½, February/May 2009, National Music Museum (NMM), the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, South Dakota.〕
The Bublitz Case Company manufactured over a hundred models of cases for clarinets, oboes, bassoons, flutes, piccolos, trumpets, cornets, saxophones, trombones, French horns, baritones, tubas and a case for television test instrumentation. In 1948 the company produced eighteen thousand cases.〔“Bublitz Factory will Turn Out 24,000 Instrument Cases in 1949,” The Elkhorn Independent Newspaper, Elkhorn, Wisconsin, January 13, 1949.〕 During the nineteen fifties and sixties Bublitz manufactured over twenty-five thousand cases annually.〔Historical knowledge from Robert Joseph Bublitz (August 8, 1942) who worked in the factory from an early age during summers and school holidays until the business was sold to Leblanc.〕
== Early beginnings ==
William Frank "Bill" Bublitz (4 May 1900 - 3 July 1962), Elkhorn, Wisconsin, son of a nearby farmer began making violins in 1912 when he was only twelve years old. July 9, 1921 the violin maker filed for a patent on his newly invented “Cramping Form for Violin Bouts" and received a patent on May 9, 1922.〔Official Gazette, United States Patent Office, Volume 298, May 9, 1922, Pages 214-215, U.S. Patent Number 1415144, originally filed July 9, 1921, Serial Number 483,585, Washington D.C.〕 "A general line of musical instruments was announced by William F. Bublitz, who opened this week (February 17, 1923) in Elkhorn, Wis." 〔“Some Very Late Openings in The Retail Music Trade,” ''Presto'', The American Music Trade Weekly, Chicago, Illinois, February 17, 1923, page 17. 〕 “The Wisconsin inventor initially specialized in making violins especially adapted for juveniles. These violins were about three-quarters the regular size which were particularly suited for a boy or girl who found it difficult to handle adult violins. Mr. Bublitz inherited his love for music from his grandfather, Carl Bublitz. The latter was a violinist in Leipzig, Germany. The younger Bublitz was skilled as a violinist, but modestly said that his knowledge was acquired to enable him to better perfect the instruments that he makes." 〔The Music Trades, Volume LXIV, Number 12, September 16, 1922, Musical Merchandise Section, page 41, New York, NY.〕 Although the business was originally located in Elkhorn, later it moved to Burlington until a fire destroyed the business.
